COLUMBUS, Ohio – Rose Mary Woods, the devoted secretary to President Nixon who said she inadvertently erased part of a crucial Watergate tape, has died. She was 87.

The 18 1/2-minute gap in the tape of a June 20, 1972, conversation between Richard Nixon and chief of staff H.R. Haldeman was critical to the question of what Nixon knew about the break-in at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate complex three days earlier – and when he knew it.

She accidentally hit the record button. A picture in which she demonstrated her action – stretching one foot forward while reaching back to get the phone – became one of the most famous images of the era.

Well, at least there’s no chance of her running into Nixon in the afterlife.

Really? You don’t think Tricky Dick is roasting, or just that they’ll end up in a different circle of hell?

Oh, Dick’s a’roasting alright. I don’t think she’d go that direction.
