In Washington, Senate Committee counsel Sam Dash continues meeting with
James McCord. In Florida, Nixon and Haldeman are calling around for advice.
And at Camp David, John Dean is writing, or not writing, the Dean Report.
Which, if completed, was to be used to exonerate and protect the president
-- but, as Dean realizes, only by landing the responsibility for the
cover-up squarely on John Dean.
Dean's suggestion, which he's made before but pushes again on the phone
this weekend to Haldeman, is for Dean to go to the soon-to-be-revived grand
