Book Review Essay The Making of the Attorney General: John Mitchell and the Crimes of Watergate Reconsidered Gerald Caplan* I. INTRODUCTION Shortly after I resigned my position as General Counsel of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department in 1971, I was startled to receive a two-page letter from Attorney General John Mitchell. I was not a Department of Justice employee, and Mitchell's acquaintance with me was largely second-hand. The contents were surprising. Mitchell generously lauded my rather modest role "in developing an effective and professional law enforcement program for the District of Columbia." Beyond this, he added, "Your thoughtful suggestions have been of considerable help to me and my colleagues at the Department of Justice." The salutation was, "Dear Jerry," and the signature, "John." I was elated. I framed the letter and hung it in my office.

Thanks for telling us about the problem. View 1 comment. Mallon sympathetically portrays figures routinely villainized today, more fodder for the never ending culture wars that the "Great Uniter" is making worse than ever today. Since it's a fictional account I can't really rely on the information we're told, either. The dialogue is smart, the description ebullient, and the variegated narrative gives luster to a real-life American tragicomedy. Norman Mailer. Watergate has been examined backwards and forwards, but Thomas Mallon attempts to put a new spin on it here by telling the story as historical fiction from the viewpoints of several people and examining the damage done to those involved or close to Nixon.

  • Remembering Martha Mitchell by Linda Goudsmit, October 20, 2020 Does Anyone Remember Martha Mitchell? I Do
    Remembering Martha Mitchell by Linda Goudsmit, October 20, 2020 Does anyone remember Martha Mitchell? I do. Martha Mitchell was the wife of John N. Mitchell, United States Attorney General under Richard Nixon. Martha had a habit of listening in on John's phone calls and meetings, and then phoning her media friends with political scoops. John Mitchell and Richard Nixon became acquainted through their professional careers when their law firms merged and became Nixon Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander and Mitchell. In 1968 Nixon appointed John Mitchell as his attorney general. The Mitchells moved from New York to Washington DC, and into the Watergate apartment complex. In 1972, John Mitchell resigned as attorney general and became the director of the Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP), and Martha became an outspoken DC socialite who regularly went on talk shows and frequently talked to the press. During the campaign, Martha began telling her media contacts that CREEP had begun resorting to dirty tricks to win the election. The dirty tricks Martha Mitchell referred to were the stealing of top-secret documents, and the bugging of phones at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) offices in the Watergate complex. The wiretaps failed to work properly the first time, so on June 17, 1972, five burglars broke into the Watergate offices to finish the job. Four of the burglars, James McCord, Frank Sturgis, Eugenio Martinez, and Bernard Barker, had CIA connections. The fifth, Virgilio Gonzales, was a locksmith in Miami who fled Cuba after the Castro takeover. A week before the break-in, the Mitchells traveled to Newport Beach, California to attend a series of fundraising events.
