	Then there are the notes on Watergate timelines.

I read voraciously, about Watergate, about the 60s, the 70s, and just about every aspect of US domestic and foreign politics during the Nixon administration. It's a fascinating subject and I just can't help feeding the appetite.

			First, books that are pretty much directly Watergate-related:
	* Bob Woodward and Carl Berstein's [[All The President's Men]] - most popular, but least informative, book on Watergate		* Bob Woodward and Carl Berstein's [[All The President's Men]] - most popular, but least informative, book on Watergate
