Each essay examines a different aspect of the city: its monumentality as determined by its relationship with the nation it governs, the linear network of its plan, the 'objectness' of its principal buildings, and finally, the signifigance of nature. Their structure and the manner in which they view the city are tailored to their respective topics. Together they represent a body of work whose intent is to explore those issues which distinguish Washington. The premise for this approach is a belief that cities should be understood for what they are, not only for what they are like or what they are not.

    DOCID: 523696 REF ID:A523696 lOP SECRET I::JMBM {U) Chapter 16 Cryptology and the Watergate Era (U) BACKGROUND TO SCANDAL (U) The greatest political scandal in American history originated with an obscure note in the Metro seetion of the Washington Post on Sunday, June 18, 1972. In it, two ~etro . section reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, cove~ed what appeared to be an amateurish break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel in downtown Washington. (U) The Nixon administration managed to cover over the politi~l effects of the break-in until after the elections in Novem~r. But when Congress returned in January, it was ready to investigate. In February 1973, the Senate voted to establish a Select Committee, commonly referred to as the Ervin Committee after Senator Sam Ervin, Democratic senator from North Carolina, to hold hearings. At the time, no one associated with the committee knew where they would get information, since the administration was keeping a tight lip, and· the . Watergate burglars weren't•talking. But on March 23, one of the burglars, James McCord, turned state's evidence: The federal judg~, John Sirica, had been pressuring the defendants by threatening lengthy prison terms if they did not cooperate. Now McCord was cooperating, and the entire thing began to unravel. The president, concerned with get~g on with his second term. tried to shush the (U) Prealclent Nixon an4 hlalDner circle, 1973 whole thing. (U) The scandal, of course, would not shush. Instead, it mushroomed, swallowing first Nixon's White House staff', then much of his cabinet, and imally the president himself.

  • The Watergate Complex Break-In: 41 Years Later
    June 17, 2013 http://commercialobserver.com/2013/06/the-watergate-complex-break-in-41-years-later/ Anniversaries The Watergate Complex Break-In: 41 Years Later How far has access control come over the past four decades? By Al Barbarino On June 17, 1972—41 years ago today—five men were arrested after breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel and Office Building at the Watergate Complex in Washington D.C. Two years later, U.S. President Richard Nixon had resigned. The burglars would ultimately admit to having photographed documents and wiretapped phones during that incident and a previous burglary. While the details regarding how, exactly, the burglars were able to break into the building are murky, there was likely little more than physical locks and barriers—and a security guard—preventing their entry into the building. It goes without saying that, four decades after the incident, the access control industry has come a long way. As such, The Commercial Observer caught up with Datawatch Systems, the company that currently provides access control and security services at that very same Watergate office tower, at 2600 Virginia Avenue, to see how much the industry has changed—and, the likelihood of a similar break-in at a government complex occurring today. “If the latest technology is being utilized and the building is providing multiple layers of control, the chances are very, very small,” said Robert Dike, vice president of sales at the Bethesda, Maryland-based firm. During the Watergate break-in, a security guard discovered the intrusion after noticing tape covering the latches on doors in the complex, which allowed the doors to close but remain unlocked.
