Zeifman confirms what others have suspected -- that insiders are afraid
of knowing too much about the secret state. Nixon's smoking-gun tape, for
example, suggested crimes during the Kennedy administration, which meant
that Democrats became less enthusiastic. Another example is that staffers
wondered whether Dorothy Hunt had been murdered. (This is still a mystery;
years later, Zeifman adds casually, he learned that Dorothy Hunt was under
psychiatric treatment, and "her psychiatrist had subsequently disappeared
under mysterious circumstances.") There are also interesting tidbits not
widely known surrounding the resignation of Spiro Agnew, and also about the
disappearance of Hale Boggs in a presumed plane crash. It would seem, on
balance, that simple fear drives a fair amount of the conspiracy denial
that one finds in the major media these days. Now that's downright scary.
