NOTE:<\/strong> Today, June 17, 2010, is the thirty-eighth anniversary of the Watergate break-in.<\/p>\n We have to give Richard Nixon some credit; his disregard for the Constitution and outrageous behavior during the Watergate era opened the door to fame for some rather remarkable Americans.\u00a0 The list runs the gamut from a key source of information with an intense penchant for secrecy and anonymity (Mark Felt \u2013 aka Deep Throat) to a 6’6″ Republican senator who loved the limelight and showed that he was no lackey for the leaders of his party.\u00a0 Lowell Weicker of Connecticut had little patience for dishonesty and duplicity; he did not let the \u2018R\u2019 to the right of his name inhibit him from turning\u00a0 up the heat on the leader of his own party.<\/p>\n
