About This Item
Tucson. AZ: circa 1970s. Signed flyer. 8.5 x 11 inches.... Certificate of authenticity from Todd Mueller... John Dean was the former counsel to President Richard Nixon and the star witness for the “Watergate” Senate Committee in June 1973. His testimony played a major role in the downfall of the Nixon administration and he earned the moniker “the human tape recorder,” given his apparent ability for recalling details from dozens of conversations over many months. Not long after Dean’s testimony, the Senate committee discovered that all conversations in the Oval Office had been secretly recorded – that there was a real tape recorder in the room. As a result of the tapes vindicating Dean’s testimony, senior members of the White House staff went to prison and President Nixon was forced to resign. Once transcripts of the testimony and the tapes were released, however, it became apparent that Dean was not a human tape recorder: while he was fundamentally correct about the existence of a cover-up, his memory for even recalling the ‘gist’ of conversations was poor. This begs the question, can eyewitness testimony be trusted?
