I watched this on MSNBC last night. The BBC aired a documentary of this, and included the actual audio tapes. It's amazing that Nixon got away with what he did without be held for treason. But Lyndon was worried about the illegal wiretapping he did so he didn't pursue. The video is worth watching if you have time.

This covered in detail in the book "The President's Club" the shenningans that Nixon did to make sure any possibility of peace was torpedoed before the 68 election. Nixon was a real piece of work. After he lost to JFK in 1960 he was willing to do anything to get back into office.
