Wow! What find. Thank you for posting this. This should be shown to every journalism class in the country. Too bad Woodward went back to being a Republican.

Woodward & Bernstein set the global gold standard for journalism. Their achievements are all the more remarkable given that these young journalists had not been at the Washington Post very long.

DeepThroat where are you when we need you ?

Thank you for this excellent and essential recap, CBS Sunday Morning! Thank you, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein for your persistence, willingness to accept one another's talents and differences, and your primal understanding the gravitas of the events unfolding. Thanks to the once upon a time golden age of journalism. I was a young adult then, and knowing and having validated there existed the conviction of revealing and standing by the truth in terms of its value in protecting our wounded, damaged, and imperfect and because of slavery deeply flawed democracy, resulted in a moment for once, when Nixon was forced to resign, of feeling a deep sense of pride in being an American. Thank you for this, and posthumous gratitude to Mark Felt, Deep Throat, a true American patriot. I lived through this once, and in my heart, I am once again looking forward to being a proud American when Trump/Pence are no longer in the White House although it breaks my heart to have to live through it all a second time; apparently, some of us are agonizingly slow learners.
