Door to History:
Burglars taped open the latch of this door at the Watergate complex. A security guard's discovery of the taped lock led to the arrest of the burglars, touching off the Watergate scandal. The documents taped to the door were in place when the door was loaned to the Newseum. The two at left are "fire exit" notices. At right is a letter pertaining to the FBI's custody of the door from 1973 to 1977. |
