I cheerfully accepted the official story of Watergate until I read Silent Coup in the early 90s. That was an eye-opener, around the same time I started studying the JFK assassination and the USS Liberty attack. It's very hard to let go of comfortable narratives that reinforce our familiar-though-false world view, but a truth-seeking person has to do that. I think JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X were constantly doing that, which is what made them so dangerous.
