Abstract
The view which I examine in this paper emphasizes factors
external to the person of Nixon himself. It emphasizes pressures
on the office of the Presidency, and the difficulty of
coping with these pressures. The hypothesis itself is in two parts.
1. The expectations surrounding the Presidency had grown
to the extent that they surpassed the capability of the President
to meet them.
2. It was the gap between expectations surrounding the
Presidency and the capability of the President to meet them
that was the principal cause of Watergate events.
