Nixon

He didn't use a telephone. He didn't wear a trench coat. He didn't meet anyone in a parking garage, demand anonymity or insist - though some secret signals were involved - upon a code name. All it took for this "leak" was a good horse and a healthy set of vocal cords: "The British are coming! The British are coming!" The unauthorized release of classified government information - and to British eyes, at least, Paul Revere's midnight ride was exactly that - has been an American phenomenon since colonial times.

WASHINGTON - Ron Ziegler, the White House press secretary who dismissed the 1972 Watergate break-in as a "third-rate burglary" and spent the rest of his tenure trying with denials to save Richard M. Nixon's presidency, was essentially a messenger boy. Mr. Ziegler, who died Monday at 63, attended countless insider meetings at which strategies for dealing with a host of important domestic policy matters were discussed. And although he sometimes put in his 2 cents, he was basically the man assigned to pass the word - first to a press corps Mr. Nixon considered the enemy and later to key aides Mr. Nixon didn't want to face with bad news.

First things first: ''Third-rate burglary'' isn't what it was.''Third-rate burglary'' is what the perps and the plotters and the apologists tried to label it, hoping the country would pay it no mind. What it was was the tip of a ghastly iceberg -- and once upon a time, it nearly sank the ship of state.He's gone now, Richard Nixon. The man who always looked so uncomfortable in his own skin is finally free of it, his great conflicted soul bound for points unknown.Put aside the red-baiting and commie-bashing that first set him on the path to the White House.

Certainly, Nixon couldn't have made it, because he had ideas and -- We might have made it, but I doubt it. " Let me state up front that I have incredible respect and admiration for Mr. Dole. He's an American hero and was a politician of undisputed integrity.

When Maryland got a commitment from quarterback Perry Hills from Pittsburgh's Central Catholic, it may not have known it was getting a package deal. Hills talked up the school to his close friend and high school teammate - defensive back Anthony Nixon. Nixon committed to the Terps after Hills did. Even more surprising:  both are starting in their freshman seasons. Nixon did a capable job filling in last week for injured strong safety Matt Robinson (groin). We'll learn more about Robinson's status when Thursday's injury report comes out. But suffice it to say Nixon may be summoned again for Saturday's game at Virginia.

With a three-star ranking and a spot on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's list of Pennsylvania's Top 30 football prospects, Anthony Nixon was a well-known commodity heading into his senior season.
