1. Can't help you but I did see her on a talk show when she was
talking about it. (It could have been The Mike Douglas Show)

She was quite a woman.

4. Remember how she called reporters?
Nixon wanted to muzzle her. LOL

2. There was a book about Martha Mitchell some years ago -

I believe it was by a woman journalist who took her seriously...Can't remember the title - suggest googling it...

5. I briefly remember my family discussing Martha Mitchell's

struggle to get the truth of the Nixon administrations actions known. I find this statement she made very concerning."Once she suspected her disease was brought on by the injection she had forcibly received in California—a highly inaccurate supposition." For those of us who witnessed the Russian agent die of poising last year, it does not seem so highly inaccurate.

6. No doubt
They really hated her. But she was sort of an amusing distraction at the time.

8. Thanks for that link!
I was planning on what might have been a lengthy and tedious Google-search, but you saved me the trouble. I just now Google-bookmarked that webpage.

That story has been on my mind since it happened. My recollection was that she was "kidnapped". Detained in a room was all I remember. I do not know

why I had such an interest in Ms. Mitchell, but I was outraged by the story. I have tried to research it ( the kidnapping ), but had no success. At first I thought the

story was buried. I do not know who or why that would have happened. I do have some sort of knack for identifying unusual situations, the results of

which do not follow logically with the advanced explanations. She was very outspoken and candid, so I am sure this is the end of the story. Thanks

again for your time and effort. I read all of the post and I will follow the links. If there is anything that you think I might be able to help you

with, please don't hesitate to inquire. Thank you, Chet
