Today in History - July 24

 A special thanks to Wikipedia.org for following historical information. The sermons I have chosen from Sermonaudio.com

1712War of the Spanish Succession: The French under Marshal Villars win a decisive victory over Eugene of Savoy at Denain.[2]

Recommended sermons and podcasts: The Colonial Wars of America and Providential Significance, by Historian Bill Potter

1974Watergate scandal: The United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon did not have the authority to withhold subpoenaed White House tapes and they order him to surrender the tapes to the Watergate special prosecutor.

Here is a quote from Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, by Adrian Havill:

"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff, as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein

Note: This is a good book. Adrian Havill makes the case that Bob Woodward's part in exposing the Watergate scandal may not have been so much great journalism as it was the Deep State taking out a sitting President - Richard Nixon. Just like they did with President Kennedy, and like they have been trying to do with President Trump. Read it and see what you think!
