Seriously. Did you ever think about how many of those dudes were pipe smokers?
Anyone associated with Watergate, it was mandatory.
E Howard Hunt:

John Mitchell:

Charles Colson:

Robert MacNeil of the Macneil-Lehrer News Report:

Pretty much the entire US Senate:

I mean my God was it mandatory to have a pipe up there:

CBS' Daniel Schorr:

And blazing his own trail, Gordon Liddy:

And then, when it was over, we get this guy!

No, I just watched All The Presidents' Men the other night again. Now that is a spy flick. Hal Holbrook as Deep Throat is awesome. Not to mention Jason Robards who was always underrated. Martin Balsam, Dustin Hoffman in his prime, what a cast.

Nixon's main problem--he hired these German guys: Haldeman and Ehrlichman. He should have hired Japanese guys. First of all, they build better electronic devices. Second, if they get caught, they kill themselves.

There was a time that the pipe was supposed to add gravitas. Some people, even today, think of the pipe as a fashion accessory. A few think the pipe makes one a nicer or even smarter person. All sorts of nasty things are attributed to a pipe smoker these days. I've even had people say my pipe and the aroma remind them of their father.
Now days a burglary wouldn't be necessary. Just hire a 12 year old and tap into the opposition computers.
