As Watergate unfolded in 1973 and 1974, voters were mesmerized by the endless series of shenanigans encapsulated in the term "dirty tricks".  Rumors spread about initial Democratic frontrunner Senator [[Ed Muskie]] and his wife Jane, which undermined his candidacy and led to ill-considered emotional confrontations and his eventual withdrawal. The office of the psychiatrist of [[Daniel Ellsberg]] who illegally leaked the ''Pentagon Papers'' to the ''[[New York Times]]'' was burgled and [[G. Gordon Liddy]], acting on White House Counsel [[John Dean]]'s instructions, broke into  the [[Democratic National Committee]] headquarters located in the Watergate hotel. [[President Richard Nixon]] had no prior knowledge of the break-in, neither did Nixon authorize any plans burgle the Watergate hotel.
