Archibald Cox
Archibald Cox was an American lawyer and law professor, best known for serving as the special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal. His appointment in 1973 marked a significant moment in U.S. history as he sought to investigate the involvement of President Richard Nixon and his administration in the scandal. Cox's refusal to back down in the face of political pressure ultimately led to the infamous Saturday Night Massacre, which highlighted the tensions between the executive branch and the rule of law.
