Washington journalist Elizabeth Drew reflects on the impact of the Watergate affair and Richard Nixon's resignation on American society and politics. "It needs be understood that this was a scary period: we knew that people in the White House would take extra-legal steps to achieve their ends," she says. "We joked with dark humour about whether we were being wiretapped. We actually wondered whether our democratic system would survive."
