Passages:
John Daniel Ehrlichman ( ; March 20, 1925 – February 14, 1999) was counsel and Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon.  He was a key figure in events leading to the Watergate break-in and the ensuing Watergate scandal, for which he was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and served a year and a half in prison. Valerie Elise Plame Wilson (née Plame; born August 13, 1963), known as Valerie Plame, Valerie E. Wilson, and Valerie Plame Wilson, is an American writer, spy novelist and former operations officer working at the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).  As the subject of the 2003 Plame affair, also known as the "CIA leak scandal", Plame had her identity as covert officer of the CIA leaked to the press by members of the George W. Bush administration and subsequently made public.  In collaboration with a ghostwriter, Plame wrote a memoir detailing her career and the events leading up to her resignation from the CIA, and subsequently wrote and published two spy novels.  After a number of years out of the limelight, she later made the news for leading a campaign to raise enough money to buy a controlling interest of Twitter stock, in order to remove Donald Trump from the platform, as well as controversy surrounding antisemitic activity on social media, for which she subsequently apologized. All the President's Men is a 1974 non-fiction book by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, two of the journalists investigating the first Watergate break-in and ensuing scandal for "The Washington Post".  The book chronicles the investigative reporting of Woodward and Bernstein from Woodward's initial report on the Watergate break-in through the resignations of H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, and the revelation of the Nixon tapes by Alexander Butterfield in 1973.  It relates the events behind the major stories the duo wrote for the "Post", naming some sources who had previously refused to be identified for their initial articles, notably Hugh Sloan.  It also gives detailed accounts of Woodward's secret meetings with his source Deep Throat whose identity was kept hidden for over 30 years.  Gene Roberts, the former executive editor of "The Philadelphia Inquirer" and former managing editor of "The New York Times", has called the work of Woodward and Bernstein "maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time." The Time of Our Time is an anthology of Norman Mailer’s various literary works, published by Modern Library in 1998.  The work was designed to commemorate both the fiftieth anniversary of "The Naked and the Dead" (1948), and Mailer’s seventy-fifth birthday.  Norman Mailer edited the anthology himself, choosing to organize the content not by the chronology in which the pieces are written, but the chronology of the events that the works describe; some of the excerpts are written in the midst of the action, while others may come upon forty years of reflection.  Selected texts that deal with the ancient world, however, appear out of sequence at the end of the volume.  (Mailer’s explanation: “Nobody is perfect.”)  Excerpts from Mailer’s most notable works, including "The Naked and the Dead", "Advertisements for Myself" (1959), "Superman Comes to the Supermarket" (1960), "The Armies of the Night" (1968), "Miami and the Siege of Chicago" (1968), "Of a Fire on the Moon" (1970), and "The Executioner's Song" (1979), as well as several works in their entirety, including "The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster" (1957), "The Time of Her Time" (1959), and various transcribed and annotated interviews with the likes of William F. Buckley, Gore Vidal, Kate Millett, and John Ehrlichman. Washington: Behind Closed Doors is a 1977 American 6-part television miniseries produced by Paramount Television and broadcast by ABC in 1977.  It is based on John Ehrlichman's book "The Company", a novel inspired by the author's time with the Nixon administration. Blind Ambition is a four-part American miniseries that aired on CBS from May 20, 1979 to May 23, 1979 focusing on the Watergate coverup and based on the memoirs of former White House counsel John Dean and his wife Maureen. John Wesley Dean III (born October 14, 1938) is an investment banker, author, columnist, lecturer and former attorney who served as White House Counsel for United States President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973.  In this position, he became deeply involved in events leading up to the Watergate burglaries and the subsequent Watergate scandal cover-up.  He was referred to as the "master manipulator of the cover-up" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).  He pleaded guilty to a single felony count, in exchange for becoming a key witness for the prosecution.  This ultimately resulted in a reduced prison sentence, which he served at Fort Holabird outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Company is a political fiction "roman à clef" novel written by John Ehrlichman, a former close aide to President Richard Nixon and a figure in the Watergate scandal, first published in 1976 by Simon & Schuster.  The title is an insider nickname for the Central Intelligence Agency.  The plot is loosely based on events leading up to the Watergate coverup, centered on Nixon administration attempts to cover up its own illegal activity and that of the CIA dating back to the Kennedy administration.  Although all characters are fictional, most are based on real-life political figures, and journalists such as columnist Jack Anderson. Roman à clef (] , ), French for "novel with a key", is a novel about real life, overlaid with a façade of fiction.  The fictitious names in the novel represent real people, and the "key" is the relationship between the nonfiction and the fiction.  The "key" may be produced separately by the author or implied through the use of epigraphs or other literary techniques. Operation Sandwedge was a proposed clandestine intelligence-gathering operation against the political enemies of the Richard Nixon presidential administration.  The proposals were put together by H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and Jack Caulfield in 1971.  Caulfield, a former police officer, created a plan to target the Democratic Party and the anti-Vietnam War movement, inspired by what he believed to be the Democratic Party's employment of a private investigation firm.
