50 years ago yesterday, cops caught five burglars breaking into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate Building of Washington, DC.      The criminals went to jail, and that was the end of that story! - Nixon wishes.  The burglary kicked off the infamous Watergate Scandal that ultimately led to Nixon's resignation and a number of high ranking officials ending up in prison. But the event left an even bigger legacy:  Slapping "gate" on the end of just about every scandal.
