Watergate Pop Quiz:  Elliott Richardson wouldn't carry out the firing of Archibald Cox, and quit.  His deputy, William Ruckleshaus, wouldn't carry out the firing and didn't quit, so he was fired.  The clip told us Ron Ziegler was just the press secretary announcing this.  But who was the 3rd guy who actually DID carry out the firing?

(Hint: it didn't hurt his career at all & he later held a very high post.)

Do you want to be the lover of another?

Quote from: "Gazoo"
Guilty displeasure: "Too High" has become one of my least favorites among Stevie's golden era.  "She's a tangerine," huh?  Um, yeh, drugs 'r bad, mm-kay.

No, I have not; please do!

There's willfully obscure, and then there's total heaviosity.  This is the latter :wink:

BOS5 First Choice! 10-4!

I recently got a First Choice best-of that is just fab -- you'd love it.

The intro to this "Eyes of the World" (?) reminded me of Style Council, "You're the Best Thing"

I hooked up with a Deadhead once to the strains of "Eyes of the World."  Was nice, but just as well that it didn't work out; he shared a name with a very famous newscaster & that would have been awkward.

Meanwhile, Mark, I had to look up the answer to your question.  Not surprised by the answer, but wow.  "Whether ours shall be a government of laws and not of men is now for Congress and ultimately the American people."

And now, continuing the Peak thread of soundalike followups, here's "I'll Take You There Again," aka "Come Go With Me."

Gaz gave another quote that maybe won't help so much.  He later said things such as,

"The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood."

and

"That's not a lie, it's a terminological inexactitude. Also, a tactical misrepresentation."

We are the Bork! Resistance is futile. Assimilate or die.

Actually it was Reagan's Secretary of State, Alexander - "As of now, I am in control here in the White House" - Haig.

That's funny, if you Google "fired Archibald Cox" as I did, you get a shitload of links saying it was Bork, who was Solicitor General.

Wikipedia also says it's Bork, though their own exactitude is often called into question.
