Presenter(s): Former Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans listens as former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman G. Bradford Cook testifies at the Stans-Mitchell influence-peddling trial. Under a withering defense cross-examination, Cook testified he lied repeatedly about a $200,000 Nixon campaign contribution from financier Robert Vesco that ended Cook's meteoric career last year.
