One Watergate unit = 18.5 minutes:
...(Ms.) Woods was President (Richard) Nixon's personal secretary, the same position she held from the time he hired her until the end of his lengthy political career.
Fiercely loyal to Nixon, Woods claimed responsibility in a 1974 grand jury testimony for inadvertently erasing up to five minutes of the 18 1⁄2 minute gap in a June 20, 1972, audio tape. Her demonstration of how this might have occurred—which depended upon her stretching to simultaneously press controls several feet apart (what the press dubbed the "Rose Mary Stretch")—was met with skepticism from those who believed the erasures, from whatever source, to be deliberate.
An expert analysis of the tapes, conducted in January 1974, revealed that there were four or five separate erasures. Later forensic analysis in 2003 determined that the tape had been erased in several segments—at least five, and perhaps as many as nine. The contents of the gap remain unknown...
Twenty-five Watergate units = 7 hours 37 minutes:
...Internal White House records from the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol that were turned over to the House select committee show a gap in President Donald Trump’s phone logs of seven hours and 37 minutes, including the period when the building was being violently assaulted, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News...

to take you off on a tangent, I once saw Arlo Guthrie in concert many years ago ( I think it was the early 90s) and he did Alice's restaurant with a sort of extra bit talking about how when Jimmy Carter was elected he was invited to one of the inaugural parties, which he went to seeing as how he was unlikely to ever be invited to such an event again. At the party he met Chip Carter, Jimmy's son, who told him that when they moved into the White House they had found a copy of Alice's Restaurant in the Nixon record library.
"Was it opened?" asked Arlo. Chip said it was. After thinking about this for a long time and seeing all the things that came out of Watergate, Arlo got to thinking, as he does. "How many things in this world are 18 minutes and 30 seconds long? I mean, exactly 18 minutes and 30 seconds long? I'm not jumping to conclusions or saying that's what it is - but how many things are EXACTLY 18 minutes and 30 seconds long?"
makes you wonder
Rev--
