6 x 120 minute episodes
A thinly (very) veiled version of Watergate, sprawlingly adapted from the book The Company, by John Erlichman, a former aide to President Nixon, and starring Jason Robards as a Nixon-like President and Robert Vaughn as his devious aide.
The plots and sub-plots seemed surprisingly close to what was known to have happened (former President Esker Anderson was clearly Lyndon Johnson) confirming British prejudices about widespread corruption Over There.
