In 1992, journalist Len Colodny co-wrote with Robert Gettlin Silent Coup: The Removal of a President . They showed that John Dean ordered the Watergate break-in because he knew that a call-girl ring was operating out of the Democratic headquarters. The authors also established that Alexander Haig was a key source for Bob Woodward, who had briefed Haig at the White House in 1969 and 1970. Silent Coup showed Dean's false statements under oath, and Dean began legal action against Colodny and Gordon Liddy, objecting to Silent Coup 's evidence that Dean was the mastermind of the Watergate burglaries, and the true target of the break-in was to destroy information implicating him and his wife in a prostitution ring. The ruling in support of Silent Coup has led to its republication now by Trine Day and is a victory for readers interested in learning the truth about the Nixon administration and its downfall. The "Colodny Collection" that contains all of Colodny's research materials are housed, and will be put on line by Texas A & M University.
