In the Senate Watergate hearings in 1973, former White House counsel John W. Dean III testified about the administration’s use of the powers of the federal government against its chosen enemies. During a live on-air broadcast, Daniel L. Schorr of CBS News received a copy of the enemies list and nearly collapsed when he read his own name aloud. In this conversation two years earlier, President Nixon and White House Chief of Staff H. R. “Bob” Haldeman discussed their attempts at “going after” Schorr.
