The attempted expansion of presidential power is further discussed in a paper
by Howard Ball on the constitutional confrontation in the Supreme Court over
the Nixon tapes in United States v. Nixon and Philip Lacovara, one of the lawyers
in that case. The dark side of the Nixon years is further examined in a panel on
the protest movement, with participants such as Tom Hayden, David J. Garrow,
and Sanford Gottlieb describing how the government attempted to sabotage the
protest movement and how the dissenters affected the political currents of the
time.

The Nixon Administration's concern with secrecy and control over govern-
mental information is examined in the context of the Pentagon Papers case in a
paper by John Kincaid and in the context of the assertion of presidential privilege,
in Mark J. Rozell's paper. Important press figures of the time, including Tom
Brokaw of NBC, Howard Simons of the Washington Post, and Victor Navasky
of The Nation debate these issues with Ronald L. Ziegler and Gerald L. Warren
of the White House press office.

S. Hamilton and Terry Sullivan describe the specific charges against the president
and the political coalitions that formed in Congress around them. Three key
