1972 Martha Mitchell effect

Nixon was later to tell interviewer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Frost" title="David Frost">David Frost</a>

in 1977 that Martha was a distraction to John Mitchell, such that no

one was minding the store, and "If it hadn't been for Martha Mitchell,

there'd have been no Watergate."&nbsp; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Beall_Mitchell
