Dash gone, remembered Watergate Committee Chief Counsel Sam Dash died last week, same day as Archibald Cox. Bloggers might agree: This seems to mark the beginning of the end of another era - that is: the time the Nation will share with individuals with original and personal memory of Watergate. The event was perhaps as close as America ever came to falling to a midnight coup. Cox and Dash are chief among the lawyers who stood for good in the days when the bitter and conniving bunch of so-called California Mafia of Halderman, Erlichman and Nixon took over the White House. Once I met Dash. 1:39:32 PM    comment []
