I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.

The source known as Deep Throat provided a kind of road map through the scandal. His one consistent message was that the Watergate burglary was just the tip of the iceberg.

If you interviewed 1,000 politicians and asked about whether the media's "too soft" or "too hard," about 999 would say "too hard."

Sometimes,doing nothing is the best reaction.

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

Any suggestion that I'm writing about political operatives because I'm interested in political operatives misses the entire point.
