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

Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.

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

When you hear in the tape recordings Nixon's own voice saying, We have to stonewall, We have to lie to the Grand Jury, We have to pay burglars a million dollars, it's all too clear the horror of what went on.

Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.

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

After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.
