Names which will live in infamy

I had an odd thought. When I was 25 I was reading a lot about Watergate (since I was overseas when it all went down, I wasn't able to read/watch/listen in real time), and I can still tell you the names of many of the participants: Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Stans, Colson, Liddy, Dean, and Mitchell. 30 years from now will people remember the names Wolfowitz, Addington, Hadley, Feith, Ashcroft, and Gonzales as well as I do the earlier ones?

Maybe they'll need to be prosecuted first.

I remember the press being more interested in Mo Dean than her husband at some point...

You gotta admit she was much more photogenic than her husband.

For that matter, Martha Mitchell was always good for an off-the-wall remark, unlike her husband.
