Wesolick also presented a power point presentation on Watergate, which he called “arguably the worst constitutional crisis in modern history.” SCC student Robert Wiltz of Sylva, right, said Wesolick’s program “made me realize the pressure President Richard Nixon was under during all those events that led up to his resignation in 1974.”
