KARL HUBENTHAL, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner
Like many Nixon supporters, Karl Hubenthal expressed dismay and shock that Nixon's credibility has been erased with the release of the Watergate tapes. On April 29, 1974, Nixon began to release his secret White House recordings, but the release of the transcripts of a conversation he held with White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman six days after the break-in forced even his most ardent supporters to admit there was a cover-up. Hubenthal, who drew for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner for twenty-seven years, published this cartoon the day before Nixon resigned from the presidency. |
