In this scene from All the President's Men, USC alum Donal Segretti talks about his work as the chief of "dirty tricks" for Richard Nixon's pre-Watergate Presidential campaign. Many of the tactics ( termed "ratfucking") that Segretti and his team used to discredit Democratic candidates were first developed during his undergraduate years at USC, where he was part of a student organization called "Trojans for Representative Government." In this scene, Segretti talks to Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein from his apartment in Marina del Rey, a massive, Federally funded public works project that created the largest artificial urban marina in the U.S., which had opened to the public just a few years before this scene was filmed.
