secret – the taping system that pro- vided the evidence of his Watergate crimes and ended the Nixon presi- dency. For three years as Deputy


Assistant to the President, working and watching from an office adjoin- ing the Oval Office, Butterfield was often the first to see Nixon in the morning and the last at night, the ultimate insider and the most dan- gerous witness. Butterfield super- vised the installation of the taping system and was one of a handful who knew about it. Even Nixon’s top aides, Henry Kissinger and John Ehrlichman, were not aware of it. In his memoir RN, the president wrote that he believed the secret “would never be revealed.” Butter- field’s insights reveal Nixon’s secrets, rages, obsessions, and deceptions


Rhyme & Verse Two poems by Marie Parrish


Heritage


He sits Frozen


Bent over a book A beaker


He stands on steps And looks to the future My future


The one he doesn’t know I’ll have Lips tight, determined forehead He sits


On a bench frozen Black in a white frame In a White Place


There’s no name


And then one name, Oscar Then two, Oscar Valdez


I watch you as hazy memories of my mother hover in my eyes Oscar Valdez An uncle


A medical student? There’s no one to answer But the dead


And the history lays forgotten In a crumbling album Frozen in black and White


Seducing Seduction


The rumors have already settled in her ears Whispers pulled away the covers from curiosity, arousing her from her slumber


Now his hands run under the covers where she lies Drops of sweat decorating her body


Her moans lick at his ears Fingers frolic lightly down his back Burning the Kama sutra on the stretch of skin, A manual that leads to numerous tangents All with the same result


He dips down, a lion,


Drinking in her nectar of choice Coco Mademoiselle, letting it sink into him Like the smell of gasoline; He sparks it aflame


She looks up, eyes half mast Catching him like moth to a light She leans up, he lets her,


As her lips write a never-ending story, He helplessly provides the blank pages.


This is why she came back, The woman as elusive as the wind. She was supposed to be irresistible, Uncatchable,


But a forever continuing story kept bringing her back.

levard offer a breathtaking journey down the cliffs to the north end of Garbage Beach, which can be explored at low tide. As you observe the vegetation throughout the


park, many of the plants you will encounter are invasive species. These plants evolved in other geographic areas and were brought to California. They often spread rapidly and make habitat unsuit- able for animals that once called the area home. While they add color to the landscape, their sinister effects on the area’s ecology should not be over- looked. Crystalline iceplant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) with succulent leaves; prickly Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), which resembles a very spiky tumbleweed; Bermuda Buttercup (Oxalis pes-caprae), with bright yellow flowers and heart-shaped leaves;


Local children’s author panelists include: Lora Crommett author of “The Blue Witch (Who Dared to Be Different)”; Adrienne Falzon, author of “Selfish Sally,” “The Search for the Perfect Shell,” and “What is an Angel?”; Karen Fernandez, author of “ABC Trace and Say Alphabet Book,” and others.

the wide-leaved Cheeseweed (Malva parviora), and Garland Daisy (Glebionis coronaria) with lacey leaves and cheery flowers are abundant. In contrast to these invasive species, California encelia or sun- flower (Encelia californica) is a native shrub that blooms abundantly in the spring months and adds a welcome sunflower-yellow flower to the cliffs. Heading south from the parking lot, you will notice a revegetated area that is filled with native spe- cies including juvenile Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana).
