It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.

I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.

Not a season passes without new disclosures showing Nixon's numerous attempts at criminal use of his presidential powers and in fact the scorn he held for the rule of law.

Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don't love what you're doing, get off it.

Finally, the president added, 'The American people are idealists, but they also want their leaders to be realistic...'

I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.

I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.
