I don't know if I told this story here yet, but Cohen's testimony tomorrow reminds me of an incident back in 1973 in Georgetown (outside of Washington DC)
A very good friend of mine was a student at a now closed college in DC. I was down there to visit her in June of 1973. Over the weekend we went out to a bar in Georgetown, called the Riverbend (she knew the owner)
There was a really attractive blonde woman there by herself, drinking heavily. Later in the evening, when she was really toasted, she got up on the bar and started dancing. At the time to me it was just another person who drank too much on a Saturday night.
Drove home the next day and went to work on Monday. Monday evening I tuned in the network news (probably CBS) and watched excerpts of Dean's testimony. HOLY CRAP! Sitting behind him was his wife, who was the woman we saw dancing on the bar two days earlier. I called my friend down in DC, and before I even mentioned it she said "that was John Dean's wife!" Our speculation was that she was so stressed over the testimony in two days that she was just out trying to blow it all off.
More than 45 years later, I remember that incident vividly.
