Secrets

FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - makes a startling claim.

On August 1 in 1291, the Everlasting League was formed, later to become the Swiss Confederation.

And in 1972, the Washington Post published the first of Bernstein and Woodward’s stories about a break-in at Democratic National Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. If you haven't seen "All the President's Men," I highly recommend it. Excellent film, and a very interesting version of What Happened. Follow that up with Oliver Stone's "Nixon" for a really interesting picture of American politics. Anthony Hopkins is nothing short of amazing as Nixon.
