It Didn't Start with Watergate

NRO has a piece by Lee Edwards outlining LBJ's criminal use of the CIA and FBI in the 1964 election campaign. It reminds me of a book by Victor Lasky, It Didn't Start with Watergate which I read in college (1977?). Lasky documented how FDR, Truman, Kennedy and LBJ were involved in illegal break-ins, illegal buggings, abuse of power in using the IRS, FBI and CIA to harass opponents, etc., on a level far worse than anything Nixon did.
