Nixon and Watergate stereo update

This is a re-rendered version of my 2007 video to take advantage of current YouTube stereo sound and widescreen format capability.

Richard Nixon provided more than his fair share of enduring images. But his grim faced television resignation provided the most remarkable one. Caught in lies over the cover up of the Watergate burglary, and famously investigated by Woodward and Bernstein at Katherine Graham's Washington Post, the most powerful man in the world was brought to his political end. Politicians everywhere seem always ready to use deceipt and lies to pursue their aims or excuse their actions, recent times should surely teach us that. So this video could be taken as applying to them in general. But Richard Nixon set the benchmark, And he made that most unforgivable of errors... he got caught. Bob Dylan sang 'Dont follow leaders, and watch your parking meters'. Sounds like good advice! This music and video comes from the album project 'Image Conscious', music inspired by famous images from the news. It is a personal view and impression of that time, and is by no means a complete or historically accurate record. News clips and stills are drawn from various sources and times, the elephant cartoon is by Herbert Block of the Washington Post. Original music and video compilation by Plug.
