Author PHIL STANFORD joins S.T. Patrick to discuss Watergate, Prostitution, and John & Maureen Dean. One of the perpetual questions of Watergate is that of motive. Why did the Watergate break-ins occur? What were the burglars looking for? And who ordered the break-ins? Are the rumors of a call girl ring true? Stanford, author of White House Call Girl: The Real Watergate Story, answers these questions. Stanford also discusses the fascinating personalities of Heidi Rikan, Josephine Alvarez, Pat Hornung, Maureen Kane/Biner/Dean, and John Dean. And if you never knew what underground NFL injury reports had to do with Watergate, now you do. He also sheds light on the bizarre Spiro Agnew story... you won't want to miss this one!

MOHAMED SHEHK of CriticalResistance.org joins S.T. Patrick to discuss the Prison Abolition Movement. The United States has the largest per capita prison population in the world - but why? What can be done about it? What needs to change in our thinking before anything can be done?

RALPH EPPERSON has allowed the Midnight Writer News Show to use the audio from one of his most requested DVD's, The Kennedy Assassination: Conspiracy and Cover Up. Ralph's presentation was given in June of 1992. This is the first in what will be an ongoing series of legendary presentations designed to preserve the work of those researchers and authors who did most of their work in the pre-internet eras. In 2018, MWN will do more of these. We want to give you, our listeners, and opportunity to download and keep these presentations for yourselves. We should all pay homage to those who came before us, and that is what we shall do. Please, however, remember that the information, audio quality, and opinions will also be dated. They are slices of a bygone era, signs of the times. Please be understanding of that. We believe, however, that you will enjoy them as we do. Thank you all.
