Just after 10:00 a.m. on March 23rd, 1973, John Dean, White House counsel to former President Richard M. Nixon advised Nixon of "a cancer within-close to the presidency, that's growing. It's growing daily." Within the same breath, he advised Nixon that "people are going to start perjuring themselves very quickly that have not had to perjure themselves to protect other people and the like." That cancer became known as "Watergate," and eventually led to Nixon's resignation.
