今日新闻故事
1972年6月20日，尼克松与其参谋长H. R. Haldeman在白宫旁的行政办公楼密会，他们的对话被录音，但是其中关键的18分半钟被擦去。由于各种高科技手段都无法将这段对话复原，因而当时参谋长的笔记成了该事件的关键。尼克松的间谍被捕后三天，该笔记现身，现在被视作此次密谈的唯一存留记录。
"Watergate" is a general term used to describe a complex web of political scandals between 1972 and 1974.
The word refers to the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. In addition to the hotel, the Watergate complex houses many business offices. It was here that the office of the Democratic National Committee was burgled on June 17th, 1972.
The burglary and subsequent cover-up eventually led to moves to impeach President Richard Nixon. Nixon resigned the presidency on 8 August 1974.
