Gurney says Dean testimony left Nixon case in shreds
Senator Edward J. Gurney of Florida, member of the Senate Watergate committee, said John Dean III’s testimony against President Nixon appears "pretty much in shreds" after three days of cross examination. He urged that Dean’s impressions about aides reporting to Nixon do not amount to evidence and critiqued Dean’s September 15 meeting description as misinterpreted by Dean.
