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

Newspapers that are truly independent, like The Washington Post, can still aggressively investigate anyone or anything with no holds barred.

The cloud of doubt that surrounds political figures tends to remain and never dissipate or be clarified.

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

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.

I believe there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.
