In this Aug. 29, 1973 photo, special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox sits in his Washington office as he reads U.S. District Judge John Sirica's order that President Nixon produce tapes of the White House conversations on Watergate for private judicial inspection. In an incident known as the "Saturday night massacre," Cox was fired on President Nixon's orders on a Saturday night in 1973, hours after Cox held a news conference to defy him.
