    >hours), which were released a week ago by the National Archives. To aide
    >comprehension, I have added a text track synchronized to the audio stream.

    >The most recent addition -- posted this evening -- is the 1 hour 40 minute
    >"cancer on the presidency" conversation with Nixon, Dean and Haldeman. The
    >'smoking gun' and other examples were posted earlier in the week. The audio
    >quality is variable, but the text track seems to enhance comprehension.

    >Let me know if you have any suggestions for this database. I am also
    >planning to distribute the entire set on CD if anyone wants it. No sense
    >paying $732 for the collection when it should be available for a fraction
    >of that.
