About Archibald Cox
Archibald Cox was an American lawyer and law professor known for his work as a special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal. Born on May 17, 1912, Cox served as Solicitor General of the United States and later as a professor at Harvard Law School. His appointment as special prosecutor to investigate the Watergate break-in led to a standoff with President Richard Nixon, culminating in the infamous 'Saturday Night Massacre' where Cox was fired for refusing to drop his investigation. Despite this, Cox's integrity and dedication to upholding the rule of law earned him widespread respect.
