On May 3, 1972, the day following the sudden death of J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon appointed L. Patrick Gray III to be acting director of the FBI. It was a job he would hold for just 361 days.
Watergate cut it short. The infamous break-in happened just six weeks into Pat Gray’s tenure, pushing him onto the cover of TIME Magazine, the dust jacket of All the President’s Men, the only innocent man there.
Thirty-five years have passed since those tumultuous days. "Watergate Affair, 1972-1974" is now a standalone category in the Library of Congress catalog system. John Ehrlichman's icy suggestion to let Pat Gray "twist slowly, slowly in the wind" has been enshrined as a familiar quotation. At the center of it all was Pat Gray, and for all those years he kept his silence.
Until now. |
