you cannot view Nixon's second term and what happened without understanding the impact of J Edgar Hoover's death in 1972.
it shaped everything. Nixon was the first president since Roosevelt to be the most powerful man in the world.
Nixon felt unrestrained, but at the same time, so did the press. in the end, Nixon fricked himself.
ETA: also, if j edgar hoover was alive, there wouldn't be leaks coming from the fbi. for a variety of reasons i guess what i'm saying is, if hoover were alive, Nixon never goes down, and "Watergate" never happened as far as the public is concerned.
