These activities included following candidates and their families, forging letters, misleading leaks to the press, and seizing confidential campaign files. The story also includes the account of the Canuck letter, Felt/Deep Throat's assertions that over fifty Nixon operatives were working to disrupt Democratic campaigns, and details of Segretti's activities.
