Editorial: The Silliest Watergate Caper Yet
The Watergate caper is dubbed the silliest in history as five men, including two ex CIA agents, are caught with fragile spy gear and a roll of sequential $100 bills. Questions rise over what they hoped to learn at the Democratic HQ. A portrait photographer in Miami alerted the FBI after developing photos of minor documents, and McGovern campaign HQ was said to be bugged. The piece urges a thorough investigation and punishment for the guilty.
