Today you finished watching the fairly classic Hollywood film about the Watergate scandal. Well I was looking around the web, and I found a fantastic page put out by the Washingtonpost.com, first go ahead and read through that page here.
...
Now that you've read that page, you may have noticed that in two places they actually link they original Washington Post article, written by Bernstein and Woodward. I am sure you can find one of those links on that page there, the story is called "GOP Security Aide Among 5 Arrested in Bugging Affair." Go ahead and read through that original story, try to pay attention to what governmental positions seem to be affected by this story.
Your job for this post, is to write 150 words, reacting to how you think this scandal affected peoples view of American government. I want you to think about in what ways do we rely on check's and balance's to keep our government fair, and how would this event have made you feel about the Executive if it happened today.
Feel free to explore any of the other links you find on that site, some of them lead you to some pretty cool graphics and time lines.
