"Mo": A Woman's View of Watergate
by
Simon and Schuster, $8.95
Poor Mo. She never asked much of life except a Cadillac, a house in Beverly Hills, and a husband to provide them. Instead, her husband got involved in Watergate, and you know what that means—cold dinners, ruined weekends, not to mention the problem of what to wear to the Senate hearings.
No doubt the True Confessions style of these memoirs is the inspiration of her accomplice. Hays Gorey. Still, Mrs. Dean’s view of Watergate is predictably limited to the little matters of house and home, some skimpy gossip, and much loyal defense of Mr. Dean’s role in bringing down the Nixon Administration. What Mo knows about the coverup doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. But on matters such as the carpets in the presidential jet. the accommodations at Camp David, and the lowdown on what really goes on in a White House
receiving line, this book is full of invaluable information.
