White House Tapes:

"A meeting was called at which Mitchell, Colson, Dean, Stans, Buzz Ehrlichman, H.R. Bob and some of the others came, but it got nowhere because all of them were so preoccupied checking their machines to see that they were recording, they were too distracted to talk. When they were able to put a few words together, it invariably happened that somebody's apparatus began emitting beep-beeps signifying it was time to change a reel.

Under the pressure, some of them began to crack. Kalmbach, Mr. President's personal lawyer, commenced shouting at Buzz Ehrlichman, 'I was your friend. I lent you $20,000 dollars. I was unthinking and loyal and look at the trouble you got me in! In my heart I know I'm not a criminal. I came to you and I said "Buzz, we're friends. Your wife Ermintrude is friends with my wife Hepsibah, and your oldest boy Buzzy, Jr., is pals with my oldest boy, Herbie III, and your little girl Sandy is friends with my little girl Sandy -- remember how we named them after each other -- and your little dog Inky used to love to smell my little dog Brownie best of all the dogs on the block until he knocked her up and I had to have her fixed". Don't you remember when I came and said that to you and how you said that was right and that always since we left USC law school we have lived in the same subdivision together and how we always split fees and crapped on our clients together. Remember you said that?'

'That's not exactly how I recall it.' said Buzz Ehrlichman, who'd noticed that Herbie's batteries had run down and was moving in on the electronic kill. "
