"Watergate" this list? Has "Watergate" been turned into a verb? What
does it mean exactly?

superseded treatise supplement. We all know this was your basic impossible
task. No one keeps these older supplements these days (not even academic or Bar
Assoc. libraries). Anyway, the ILL staff went through the paces of calling
around (after doing an OCLC search of course to determine who has a holding)
with no luck. I called West Group NY office and spoke with a very helpful
representative (Ms. Chen). She searched her collection, didn't have the title,
but suggested I contact a CBC editor in Deerfield. I called Deerfield, left a
message and in less than half an hour had what I needed on my desk. The editor
in Deerfield (Ms. Gail O'Gradney) was WONDERFUL. It was a real pleasure to work
with her. West Group, I know you Watergate this list, my suggestion, you need
more individuals like them on your team.
