I'll Take My Stans
By Nicholas von Hoffman
The Terrors of Justice: The Untold Side of Watergate
by Maurice H. Stans
Everest House, 478 pp., $10.95
Whatever Maurice Stans, Nixon's top fund raiser, may or may not have been guilty of in the Watergate campaign of 1972, he certainly should be jailed for writing this book. It is a literary felony, the primary overt act in a conspiracy to obstruct the printed word. At the least, the editors and executives at Everest House, the publishers of this chaotically dull, 478-page work of angry, apologetic confusion, should be named unindicted co-conspirators in this sinister effort to get those few left who read to switch to television.
