1. It seems most people here are too young to remember Mr. Cox

Archibald Cox, the special Watergate prosecutor who was fired by the Nixon White House in the "Saturday Night Massacre" in 1973, died Saturday at his home in Brooksville, Me.

He was 92 and died of natural causes, said his wife, Phyllis.

Mr. Cox took over the Watergate investigation on May 18, 1973, two months before it was revealed that President Richard M. Nixon had secretly taped his conversations and phone calls in the White House. After Mr. Cox subpoenaed eight of those tapes, he was dismissed on Nixon's orders on Oct. 20, 1973.

His courage changed history and we are all indebted to Mr. Cox

2. How soon we forget.

May he rest in peace.
