We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business.

- Richard M Nixon
(1913-1994, President 1969-1974)
Nixon’s comment was made during one of the Nixon/Frost interviews in 1977. Frost had quizzed Nixon on his authorisation of a plan to obtain intelligence on those who opposed him. The planned operation included the systematic use of wiretappings, burglaries, or so-called black bag jobs, mail openings and infiltration against antiwar groups and others. It was emphasised to Nixon that some of those activities were clearly illegal but Nixon gave the go-ahead anyway.
