"John Ehrlichman," Mr. Buckley begins, "has been convicted for ordering the

burglary of the office of the psychiatrist who treated Daniel Ellsberg, and the courts flatly rejected his argument that there was an inherent right vested in the Executive to secure the nation's interest by illegal activities," whereupon, Mr. Buckley continues, Mr. Felt "stepped forward and announced that he had personally ordered two burglaries without court approval and that he would do it again." Both guests immediately challenge the term "burglary": MF: "The dictionary defines a burglary as a break-in with the intent to steal something, and what I authorized were two surreptitious entries to try and get information." (Mr. Felt's break-ins were to offices of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Weathermen)"And I think by authorizing it I saved a lot of lives.") Mr. Cohn concurs: "Oh, these are not burglaries. The term is just completely misused here. Nothing was stolen; nothing was taken." WFB: "Well, nothing was stolen from Dr. Fielding's office, but that was a burglary, wasn't it?" RC: "No, I don't think that was a burglary. I think the correct term here would probably be surreptitious

entry... . And I've been on both sides. I worked with the government, and I practice

law and defend people where the FBI is on the other side, so I've seen it from both vantage points." And we're off on a fascinating exploration of this murky subject.
