Even now there is no evidence that anyone involved in the Nixon operation was going to threaten us.

Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

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

The biggest rap on me is that I don't find a Watergate every couple of years. Well, Watergate was unique. It's not something Carl Bernstein, I, or the Washington Post caused.

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.

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.

Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.
