Nixon, who voted into a second term of office by a massive majority, then resigned.\u003cbr/\u003eNow, a museum in Washington D-C, is giving younger generations an opportunity to understand, if not make sense of, the scandal that started it all.  \u003cbr/\u003eRichard Nixon's fear that he would lose his re-election to the presidency to Democratic Senator George McGovern drove him to order a complex illegal operation which led to his resignation.\u003cbr/\u003eNixon beat McGovern by a landslide -- the \"dirty tricks\" most likely unnecessary. \u003cbr/\u003eNow, a quarter of a century later, McGovern and others have gathered to look back at the political conspiracy that shook to its foundations the integrity of the American Government.\u003cbr/\u003eIt paved the way for a flood of other \"gates\".\u003cbr/\u003eSince then \"Koreagate\", \"Travelgate\" and other \"gates\" have followed.\u003cbr/\u003eBut none have rocked the establishment to the same extent.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE:(English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"It was the mother of all White House scandal. Nothing else in American history, in over 200 years of our country, to compare with the Watergate Scandals.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: George McGovern\u003cbr/\u003eFive men, dressed in suits and ties, wearing surgical gloves, are caught in the act of rifling the office of the Democratic National Committee -- the date: June 17th, 1972.\u003cbr/\u003eTwo years later, on August 9, Republican Richard M. Nixon, resigns in disgrace and 25 men are given prison sentences.  Nixon escaped impeachment by resigning and avoided indictment through a pardon.\u003cbr/\u003eMoney was not at the centre -- this was lust for power, and the use of lies, bribery, and coercion to hang on to it at any cost.\u003cbr/\u003eWashington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein covered the story from the first appearance of the burglars in court the day of the break-in.  Their investigation won them a Pulitzer prize. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir main source -- still a mystery today -- was known as Deepthroat.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"The individual known as Deepthroat, I think is of historical importance that his identity been revealed, and we will upon his death.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Carl Bernstein\u003cbr/\u003eThe burglars worked under the direction of G. Gordon Liddy, a former F-B-I man who served 52 months in prison for his role.\u003cbr/\u003eLiddy has his own theories on the identity of Deepthroat.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"There was no Deepthroat, I think it was a concoction. All you have to do, is wait for some-one recognisable to die, and you can say, 'Hey he's Deepthroat, but the poor suckers not alive to tell that it's a lie.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: G. Gordon Liddy\u003cbr/\u003eLiddy worked for Nixon's Committee for the Re-election of the President -- commonly known as CREEP -- which had grandiose schemes for an espionage operation including the use of prostitutes, bugging telephones, mugging opponents and kidnappings.   \u003cbr/\u003eThe burglars and the head of the operation stood trial and were convicted.\u003cbr/\u003eKatharine Graham, chairman of The Washington Post, reflects on the impact of the Post's momentous story.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"It was an extraordinary moment for journalism, it obviously lead to some excesses, and led to a passion for investigative reporting, which wasn't completely balanced, but after a while it was pulled back, and I think its fine now.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: K. Graham \u003cbr/\u003eIt was when the Senate started an investigation that the plot began to unravel.    \u003cbr/\u003eWhite House counsel John Dean told the story to investigators.  Nixon fired him.  \u003cbr/\u003eThen came the startling revelation that sealed Nixon's fate.  A secret, automotive system existed that tape-recorded every conversation Nixon had in the Oval Office and just about everywhere else including the presidential cabin at Camp David.\u003cbr/\u003eThroughout, Nixon denied any wrong doing.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"America needs to know whether their president is a crook; well I'm not a crook.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Former President Nixon\u003cbr/\u003e\"I neither took part in nor knew about any subsequent cover-up... that was and is the simple truth,\" Nixon told the nation in a speech August. 15, 1973.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it wasn't that simple and it wasn't the truth.\u003cbr/\u003eThe reaction was explosive, impeachment plans were drawn up and on August 8 Nixon announced his resignation.\u003cbr/\u003eFor the only president ever to resign, there was shame, a pardon, and an uphill battle for rehabilitation which ended with his death on April 22, 1994.\u003cbr/\u003eWashington D-C, USA. 11 and 12 June 1997, file and graphics\u003cbr/\u003eWashington D-C. 11 and 12 June 1997\u003cbr/\u003e1.
