There are accusations of abuse of power, vote tampering and document shredding. People are trying to involve a Supreme Court justice, a U.S. senator and a top White House official. The League of Women Voters has been called in to restore confidence in the process.

The only thing missing in this latest Watergate scandal is a break-in.

The Watergate has been in an uproar for months over plans to turn the Watergate Hotel into cooperative apartments. Three of the six buildings in the complex are already co-ops, whose residents include national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, opera star Placido Domingo and Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) and her husband, Bob. Leading the opposition is lawyer Jack H. Olender, who says the Watergate's way of life is at stake. "It's another Watergate coverup," he said. He started a group called Watergate East Committee Against the Hotel Conversion to Co-ops.
