Dean’s testimony draw both sides on Nixon links
Nixon supporters attack John W Dean as a felon who lied about Watergate while Dean’s testimony before the Senate committee centers on meetings about political espionage and a cover up of the June 17 1972 break in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters.

Humprey says Dean made a strong case, Richardson hints at possible questioning of Nixon, and a Gallup poll finds a third of Americans suspect unethical campaigning by some Congress members.
