there was more to know

----------------- (excerpt from All The President's Men) --------------

        "Morale is terrible in finance," she said.  "Those of us who know are tired of being suspected.  There are little jokes all the time, like 'What'd you do with the twenty-five grand, lady?'"

        Was that how much Liddy got?

        She shook her head no.

        More than $50,000? Woodward asked.

        She nodded.

        Magruder got at least that too, didn't he?

        Again she nodded.

        Magruder was the only M to get money, right?

        Another nod.  But, she indicated, there was more to know about Magruder.  "Let's just say I don't trust him at all, especially where his own skin is concerned," she said.  "He'll stop at nothing.  The last three weeks he's turned on the charm to me something fierce."

        And LaRue?  The reporters said they knew he was involved, too, even though he had received no money.

        "He's very elusive, he covers his tracks," she said.  "He and Mitchell are like this"--she intertwined her fingers.  But she would not say what LaRue knew.
