>The most recent addition -- posted this evening -- is the 1 hour 40 minute
>"cancer on the presidency" conversation with Nixon, Dean and Haldeman. The
>'smoking gun' and other examples were posted earlier in the week. The audio
>quality is variable, but the text track seems to enhance comprehension.

>Let me know if you have any suggestions for this database. I am also
>planning to distribute the entire set on CD if anyone wants it. No sense
>paying $732 for the collection when it should be available for a fraction
>of that.
