Author: harry levy (hlevy41878@aol.com) from walnut creek, california

in 1977 the events in this mini series was indelible in the minds of the whole country.. ie; watergate...i saw such realism in the story as though i was in the oval office, experiencing every step from beginning of story to end. realism of choice of actors nd setting..one and one only drawback..never released on video rental or purchase...would love to see it again or have a copy of it.
