8. The other night I thought of him.

I remembered watching a show about Watergate and he is the guy who stopped the hearings and on live TV called his aide to go and get Butterfield to testify about the taping system he set up for Nixon. Butterfield was in his barber's chair and saw Ervin say something to his aide on TV and 3 seconds later the phone in the barber shop rang and he was sitting in front of the committee within the hour. We need that kind of action NOW!
