Chuck Colson, Nixon's Hatchet Man, Dies at 80 
----------------------------------------------


 
Chuck Colson has died at the age of 80. Known as Richard Nixon's
"hatchet man," Colson served more than seven months in prison for his
role in a Watergate-related case. He later became a born-again Christian
and pushed for federally funded faith-based programs.
