Senator Weicker was cut
from the old cloth of a fiery politician. When he spoke everyone
paid attention, not only for what he said but how he said it. He
provided high theater for the television audience that had front row seats
during the entire course of the hearings. Two television cameras
above his head took their aim at witnesses; Weicker himself took a deadlier
aim, blasting away mercilessly at Haldeman, Ehrlichman and others, giving
no quarter and making it impossible for them to explain away their behavior. |
