THE STORY OF A TEENAGER, AN OVAL OFFICE, AND A RINGSIDE SEAT TO WATERGATE.  At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally landed a job at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue during the worst political scandal in American history. Within 18 months of cashing his first paycheck, Watergate ripened into a national nightmare, the President and the Vice President of the United States resigned, and a little-known Michigan Congressman became the nation’s first unelected Chief Executive. It was a tragedy, a political and constitutional crisis of epic proportions, and a circus. A truly insignificant member of the White House staff, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office to watch it unfold.
