 The Watergate Files - Senate Hearings: February 1973 - July 1973 - People
Dean came to the White House as a presidential aide and eventually became Nixon’s legal counsel.
As Watergate broke, Haldeman and John Ehrlichman trusted their bright attorney to control the political fall out after the burglars were arrested, part of which involved him paying them large sums of money.
As recently as March 21, Dean met with the president to warn him of the metastasizing problem of the cover-up, telling Nixon of “a cancer … close to the presidency” and of the increasing demands by the burglars for money.

 FindLaw's Writ - John Dean
Dean contends that Bush is using the statements as the equivalent of line-item vetos -- even though the Supreme Court held the line-item veto to be a violation of the Constitution's Presentment Claus, and even though the veto is supposed to be the President's exclusive avenue, under the Constitution, to prevent bills from becoming law.
Dean notes the strong parallel between the leak that prompted the prosecution of an earlier Bush Administration leaker, DEA analyst Jonathan Randel, and the leak for which Rove is apparently responsible.
FindLaw columnist and former counsel to the president John Dean argues that President Bush is employing the Nixonian strategy of "pricking the boil" by renominating William J. "Jim" Haynes, currently the general counsel of the Department of Defense, to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals.

 James Dean. By John Swansburg
Fifty years ago, James Dean died in a violent car accident on his way to Salinas, Calif. His mangled Porsche was dispatched on a tour of the country soon after to scare kids into driving safely, only to be picked clean by fans lusting after a tangible piece of the Dean legend.
Dean's mother, who nurtured his creative energies, died of cancer when her son was 8, after the family had moved to Los Angeles.
But to have been a convincing Hamlet, Dean would have had to draw on more than his travails with his own father—there's a difference between teenage angst (who am I?) and existential angst (to be, or not to be?).

 John Williams
Lesser musicians adhere righteously to the lines separating tradition from innovation, soloist from accompanist - but the duo of multi-instrumentalist John Williams and guitarist Dean Magraw interact so effortlessly, and draw from such a wide range of traditions and techniques, that existing borders cease to be relevant.
John Williams and Dean Magraw step out on this album as composers, arrangers, and improvisers of their own works as well as interpreters of classic pieces from La Bottine Souriante, Frankie Gavin, early Solas, and the thriller Road to Perdition.
John was born in Chicago in 1967 and his playing has absorbed all the heart and vitality of Clare, together with Irish American influences like Johnny McGreevy, Seamus Cooley, Liz Carroll, and Joe Shannon.

But there was White House aide John Ehrlichman on the phone one day in 1971, telling Dean that “Chuck Colson wants me to firebomb the Brookings (Institution).” Describing the incident Monday to several hundred presidential history junkies at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum, Dean said he was dumbfounded.
Dean, who served four months in prison for his role in the Watergate cover-up, spun the story casually — just another believe-it-or-not factoid from the annals of a dark and complicated presidency — at a two-day conference on the effect of White House taping systems on seven 20th-century presidents.
Dean, looking fit and tan at 64, said Nixon was careful even with his most trusted aides to guard his involvement in the scandal.

Dean argues that in asking Congress for a Joint Resolution authorizing the use of American force in Iraq, President Bush made a number of "unequivocal public statements" regarding the reasons this country needed to pursue military force in pursuit of national interests.
Dean, now an academic and noted author, shows how through tradition, presidential statements regarding issues of national security are held to an expectation of "the highest standard of truthfulness".
Dean, there are two possibilities; first, that there is something devilishly wrong with the current administration's national security operations, a prospect Dean finds hard to swallow, or, second, the President has deliberately misled the American people and the world regarding the evidence supporting taking preemptive military action against the sovereign nation of Iraq.

DEAN:  Well, we don't have all the facts on this.  And I don't think anybody's going to fault the president in his goal.  The ends are certainly appropriate.  He's trying to protect Americans from the threat of a terrorist attack, or the actual attack.  No one can slight that.
DEAN:  I think 10 through 13 would be a good place to start.  And I think if, for example, the composition of the Congress changes in the House or the Senate in 2006, it's going to be Katy, bar the door.  This administration has an awful lot of things they're going to have to explain.

Because of his longish hair and Porshe, Nixon considered John Dean something of a hippie, demonstrating that the President's social awareness was exceeded only by his integrity.

He became most well-know for the non-existent "Dean Report" and the "Cancer in the Presidency" line that he copped from another WH staffer.

 Powell's Books - Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush by John W. Dean
But few critics have as effectively put the disparate pieces together, linking them to what Dean says is a broader pattern of secrecy from an administration that does its best to control the flow of information on every subject — even the vice president's health — and uses executive privilege to circumvent congressional scrutiny.
Dean's probe extends back to Bush's pre-presidential activities, such as his attempt to withhold his gubernatorial papers from public view, and Dean's background as an investment banker adds welcome perspective on Bush's business career (as well as Cheney's).
John W. Dean's profile remains incredibly high, with regular appearances on national TV and radio shows, and his widely read online column.
