Author PHIL STANFORD joins S.T. Patrick to discuss Watergate, prostitution, and John & Maureen Dean. One of the perpetual questions of Watergate is that of motive. Why did the Watergate break-ins occur? What were the burglars looking for? And who ordered the break-ins? Are the rumors of a call girl ring true? Stanford, author of White House Call Girl: The Real Watergate Story, answers these questions. Stanford also discusses the fascinating personalities of Heidi Rikan, Josephine Alvarez, Pat Hornung, Maureen Kane/Biner/Dean, and John Dean. And if you never knew what underground NFL injury reports had to do with Watergate, now you do. He also sheds light on the bizarre Spiro Agnew story… you won’t want to miss this one!
Phil Stanford is the author of White House Call Girl: The Real Watergate Story. He has also authored Rose City Vice: Portland in the 70’s – Dirty Cops and Dirty Robbers, and Portland Confidential.
