Read more about the Watergate investigation by the Washington Post, and then look through the Watergate files of the Ford Presidential Library.

Both websites have extensive materials to let you sharpen your understanding of the Watergate scandal and its implications, so your first job is to explore both sites to make sure you have a good grasp of the details of Watergate.

Both websites carry short biographies of people important to the Watergate story. Browse the People and Key Players sections of each site and pick two people whose actions and stories interest you. Use the information about them to answer the next question.

Explain in a short essay of two to three paragraphs how the life and actions of the two figures you have chosen illuminate important aspects of the Watergate scandal.

(Note: Plato answer would be nice.)
