I planned to do it just like a regular fanzine, copied at the local FedEx Office and shipped to Corflu, just as I’d been doing for the last few years. But technology intervened. I started a new venture last fall, a projected series of 366 books covering each day of the year (February 29 included), using Amazon’s print-on- demand subsidiary, CreateSpace, for the physical copies — no inventory or upfront costs. I suddenly realized it would cost me just a bit more than half as much per copy, and that included a four-color perfect bound cover! The next step seemed fairly obvious. Extending the initial idea a bit, I also realized that this issue in particular also worked as a book. While it’s clearly not going to be the next 50 Shades of Gray (my own erotica hasn’t done nearly so well), it might well make a couple of dollars in the brave new world of online bookselling, and as I move closer to retirement age, every dollar counts. WATERGATE CONSIDERED AS AN ORG CHART OF SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES (this fanzine stripped of fannishness, such as it is) can be purchased from Amazon and other fine e-retailers as a perfect-bound 5.25” x 8” paperback with full color wrap-around cover, or as an e-book in all popular formats. Tell your friends. Book: https://www.createspace.com/4227033 Kindle: http://tinyurl.com/WatergateEbook Other ePub formats: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/304349 The print version of this issue is available at https://www.createspace.com/ 4229410. * * * Given that I normally send copies to a number of people who aren’t part of fandom, a few additional words of explanation may be in order. (Trufen may skip the next part.) - 3 - In my misspent youth, I was semi-active in the science fiction fan world. Although science fiction conventions have, to a significant extent, turned into media shows, it was once the case that science fiction fans focused on the world of books and magazines, and often shared a wide range of diverse interests. These interests were often expressed in “fanzines,” a poorly chosen name for amateur magazines that, whatever else they may be, are seldom about being a “fan” of anything in particular. I was a pretty awful fanzine publisher back in the day, and after a few terrible attempts, I moved on to other pursuits, although I have kept ongoing relationships with many of the people I met in my brief fannish career. A few years back, I began to attend a convention aimed at fanzines publishers, known as Corflu (short for “correction fluid,” a substance all too familiar to people who worked with mimeograph stencils, once the lifeblood of amateur publishing), and my interest in “pubbing my ish,” as we fans say, flared up like a bad case of herpes. I was also attracted by improvements in printing. The venerable mimeograph, producer of generations of classic fanzines, is now used only by the purest of the pure (as the saying goes, “The Enchanted Duplicator is the one with the trufan at the handle!”). I had always enjoyed the writing process of fanzine publishing, but wrestling with the recalcitrant and often messy process of mimeography was one of the less pleasant chores of amateur publishing (second only to collating), so the move to photocopying was more than welcome. I could prepare a PDF, upload it to the FedEx Office website, and within days, neatly collated and stapled copies appeared with no effort on my part. (Except for mailing, of course. That’s still a pain.) For the 2003 Corflu in Madison, Wisconsin, I rebooted my 1970s era title, Random Jottings, after a mere 32 year gap between issues, with a long piece on name dropping, in which I listed my every brush with fame or notoriety, no matter how slight. A mere five years later, Random Jottings #3 chronicled my adventures with the Samaritan people. With the bug raging once again, only a single year elapsed before the next issue. Random Jottings #4, the “Alternate History Issue,” for the Seattle Corflu in 2009, allowed me to publish the material I’d collected in 1971 and 1972, which had been languishing in my files for nearly four decades, under the conceit that it was the long-lost issue from another dimension. Random Jottings #5 was published as an obituary for my father, Odell F. Dobson, who died in 2010. It contained his true-life adventures as a waist gunner on a B-24 during World War II. Random Jottings #6 collected my blog writings on cognitive biases. And last year’s Random Jottings #7, for the 2012 Las Vegas Corflu, anthologized several random articles along with a portfolio of art by noted cartoonist Steve Stiles. As has been my custom for the past few years, this issue is being released for Corflu XXX (Boom-Chicka-Wow-Wow), with a few copies going in the mail shortly thereafter. Back issues of Random Jottings are available in PDF form for free by visiting Bill Burns’ essential www.efanzines.com. While you’re there, look around. There’s a wonderful, vibrant world of amateur publishing waiting for you. See you next Corflu! - 4 - Watergate and Me The great professional obsession of my adult life has been figuring out how people and organizations work. I write business books and military novels because nothing fascinates me more than people struggling with impossible situations, especially of their own making. Believe me, I know what it's like to screw up, and so when I look at a complex scandal like Watergate, I don't see the politics, I see the Nixon caricature by Edmund S. Valtman people, and I feel their pain. I’m a big fan. I followed every minute of the Watergate hearings, and devoured every book by a Watergate player, no matter how obscure. No, I didn't figure out who Deep Throat really was, but I wasn't interested in the detective story that much. Oh, I admire Woodward and Bernstein and all that, but my heart goes out to John Dean, freaking out as his shredder jams on notebooks of evidence, realizing in his heart that he had become a criminal — without ever noticing the exact moment he had crossed the line. I marvel at G. Gordon Liddy, the closest thing to a real-life James Bond (or Heinlein Individual) imaginable, presenting, in those pre-PowerPoint days, a complete project management plan on poster board for schemes worthy of Dr. Evil himself. His plan would cost -- finger on pursed lip and a drumroll – two million dollars! (They bargained him down to

  • 'The Last of the President's Men'
    H-1960s Rushay on Woodward, 'The Last of the President's Men' Review published on Monday, June 27, 2016 Bob Woodward. The Last of the President's Men. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2015. 304 pp. $28.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-5011-1644-5. Reviewed by Samuel Rushay (Harry S. Truman Library and Museum) Published on H-1960s (June, 2016) Commissioned by Zachary J. Lechner Back to the Watergate Well In The Last of the President’s Men, author Bob Woodward relates the experiences of Alexander Butterfield in the Nixon administration. Butterfield, who served as deputy assistant to the president from 1969 until early 1973, was one of a handful of people with knowledge of Richard Nixon’s secret taping system. Butterfield is known to history as the man who publicly revealed the existence of the tapes during testimony before the Senate Watergate Committee, chaired by Sam Ervin, in July 1973. Butterfield’s revelation set off a year-long battle for control of the tapes, culminating in President Nixon’s resignation in August 1974. In his research for this book, Woodward interviewed Butterfield for forty hours in 2014-15. He also relied on Butterfield’s unpublished manuscript and documents that Butterfield took with him when he left the Nixon White House. What emerges from this source material is a “deeper, more disturbing and baffling portrait of Nixon,” a figure who is at the same time “both smaller and larger” than is known from previous accounts about him (pp. 2, 3). Prior to his service in the Nixon administration, Butterfield was an air force pilot and colonel, who aspired to become a general officer and air force chief of staff.

  • Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and the New York Times, and Dan Elsberg
    Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and The New York Times, and Dan Elsberg NIXON TAPES: "Get the Son of a B*tch" Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) President Richard Nixon talks with his Attorney General John Mitchell about the leaked secret government documents about the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers. They first discuss the position of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who did not want to investigate the leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, because of his friendship with Ellsberg's father-in-law. Nixon descries some of the "softheads" in his administration who want him to go easy on Ellsberg. He notes that they need to "get the son of a b*tch" or else "wholesale thievery" would happen all over the government. The president feels that the P.R. might not be bad on their part, because people don't like thieves.

  • How Courageous Followers Stand up to Destructive Leadership a Thesis
    Breaking Toxic Triangles: How Courageous Followers stand up to Destructive Leadership A Thesis Presented to the Swinburne University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of: DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2020 by Alain Marc Mario de Sales Principal Co-Ordinating Supervisor : Dr. Samir Shrivastava Associate Supervisor : Prof. Christopher Selvarajah Associate Supervisor : Prof. Timothy Moore Abstract Instances of Destructive Leadership abound. It is a growing phenomenon with very real consequences and yet it remains under-researched. The scant work that exists on Destructive Leadership tends to focus on leaders and generally discounts the role of followers. Responding to calls for models which recognise that outcomes are often co-created by leaders and followers, this study explores how followers stand up to leaders to mitigate destructive outcomes. This study anchors its arguments to the Toxic Triangle framework (Padilla 2013), which focuses on the confluence of Destructive Leaders, Susceptible Followers, and Conducive Environments. The insights from this study augment the Toxic Triangle by adding Courageous Followers to the framework. Using Power and Structuration theories as theoretical lenses, the study analyses the discursive actions undertaken by Courageous Followers to shift the power balance while attempting to collapse the Toxic Triangle. The study analyses twelve longitudinal episodes from three cases of Destructive Leadership that spanned decades. Given that the cases entailed shifts in power balance and the fact that discourse and power are said to be indistinguishable from each other and mutually constitute each other, the study adopted Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a method. CDA explored the tension between agency and structure as the power balance shifted.

Memories of the Ellsberg Break-In transcribedremarks of THE HONORABLE STEPHEN TROTr* Introduction by Fred Altshuler, Esq.: As a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County, Stephen Trott prosecuted presidential assistant John Ehrlichman and G. Gordon Liddy for the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. I would now like to ask Judge Trott to give some of his views of the type of White House conduct that occurred during the Watergate era. Judge Troll: I had a fascinating window into this whole business. I was a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County in charge of the organized crime division. I spent my time on cases involving CIA- trained Cuban bombers, militants shooting up UCLA, drugs, a rattlesnake being placed in the mailbox of a lawyer who was suing an operation called Synanon, and various pornography cases involving X-rated films like "Deep Throat" and "The Devil and Miss Jones." One odd day, my boss, Los Angeles County District Attorney Joe Busch, called me in and said: "Get your butt over to federal court, someone named Howard Hunt is about to blow the whistle on a burglary in Beverly Hills." Now, what was going on? In June of 1972, the Watergate break-in took the lid off this whole thing.

    ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN by William Goldman Based on the novel "All The President's Men" by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward Pre-rehearsal version March, 1975 Start with as few credits as possible. When they're over-- FADE IN ON: A TINY BLACK PIECE OF TAPE. We see it in the center of the large, dimly lit screen. As the tape is pressed around a door-- BEGIN THE BREAK-IN SEQUENCE. It's a major piece of action, running maybe five minutes and it's all as detailed and accurate as we can make it, with as many "if only's" included as possible. ("If only" the tape had been attached up and down instead of around the door, Wills wouldn't have spotted it and alerted the police; "if only" the first police car called had gone to investigate, Baldwin, watching from the Howard Johnson Motor Inn, would have seen their uniforms and radioed Hunt and Liddy in time for them to have gotten to the five burglars and then safely away.) The break-in ends when Leeper arrests the five men. He thought he only had one guy, so when ten hands were raised he was surprised. The hands are all encased in Playtex rubber surgical gloves. HOLD on the hands a moment; then-- GO TO: A DARK APARTMENT. The phone rings. WOODWARDfumbles for the receiver, turns on the bed light. He listens a moment.
