Nixon's Watergate response and Haig's rise amid crisis
The article charts Nixon's struggle as inner-circle tensions surge during Watergate. It notes John Dean's testimony, Ehrlichman and Haldeman's denials, and Nixon's retreats to Camp David and other strongholds. It highlights the elevation of Gen. Alexander Haig Jr as chief of staff and the August 15 television address, which offered few direct answers and signaled a shift toward court action.
