I'm going to reveal a deep, dark secret I've kept for years. Right here on TPC, yes, I shall tell you all something I've never told anyone... ever. However, for security reasons, I'm going to delete the last 18 1/2---
Sometime during the Watergate scandal, 18 1/2 minutes of a taped conversation between President Nixon and his chief of staff, Bob Haldeman, were suspiciously erased, becoming "one of the great political mysteries of the 20th century."

Mother Jones says Haldeman took "meticulous notes on a tablet of yellow lined paper with a ballpoint pen" and now a one time NSA analyst says he may be able to resurrect Haldeman's notes "via a CSI-ish technology that can extract information from the imprints made by a ballpoint pen."
