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

We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure.

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.

The fact of the Watergate cover-up is not nearly as interesting as the step into making the cover-up. And when you understand the step, you understand that Richard Nixon lied. That he was a criminal.

Sometimes,doing nothing is the best reaction.

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 am a great believer in the simplicity of things and as you probably know I am inclined to hang on to broad & simple ideas like grim death until evidence is too strong for my tenacity.

The difficulty lies, not in finding a producer, but in finding a consumer.

Entrenched customs represent a social equilibrium, and moving away from that equilibrium is difficult to do on your own.

In any offense you put me in, when things break down, I'm going to get outside the pocket and move ... West Coast, East Coast. It doesn't matter. I'm taking off if I have to, to make things happen.

I don't think [Bill Clinton] does anything - I don't think it's ill will. I don't think he's evil in the sense that he hates the Bill of Rights. He does what he figures will help him politically.

exile ... might be the largest new state created by the twentieth century and the psychology of the twenty-first century.
