We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure.

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

I recently did the David Letterman Show about my book. He was very serious and made no jokes and it caught me off guard a little bit. He was much more serious than some of the joke shows that journalists get on.

There are people who take rumors and embellish them in a way that can be devastating. And this pollution has to be eradicated by people in our business as best we can.

Suppose Watergate had not been uncovered? I'd still be on the City Desk.

The Washington Times wrote a story questioning the authenticity of some of the suggestions made about me in Silent Coup. But as a believer in the First Amendment, I believe they have more than a right to air their views.

A reporter's ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.
