Pollsters warn against treating polls as plebiscites
University of Michigan and University of Denver scholars caution that polls are not instant verdicts and can mislead when used to judge rapid political events. White House officials note the Quayle poll influenced neither tape release decisions nor timing.

Watergate tapes dispute deepens as notes differ
Witness Louis B. Sims testified about missing notes on tape checkouts and discrepancies between Zumwalt’s logs and later records. Prosecutors argued no record shows what happened to stored tapes after mid July and no evidence exists that a search for the June 20 Mitchell talks recording was conducted. Sims noted no maps in the tape sequence from 1971 and July 18 handoffs, and a pocket notebook used by Zumwalt was not produced.

Tapes and logs under scrutiny in Nixon case
Sims recalls White House aide Bull returning tape batches missing from storage while Zumwalt logs omit partial returns. Bull started removing tapes on April 25, ten days after Dean faced damaging testimony. Buzhardt offered witnesses to claim two conversations were not recorded, presenting evidence of an unbugged June 20 1972 talk and a six hour reel ending before the April 15 1973 Dean meeting.
