Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.

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.

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

Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.

It would be absurd for me or any other editor to review the authenticity or accuracy of stories that are nominated for prizes.

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

The central dilemma in journalism is that you don't know what you don't know.
