Sometimes,doing nothing is the best reaction.

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.

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 believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.

Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don't love what you're doing, get off it.

When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making.

I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

The central dilemma in journalism is that you don't know what you don't know.

Results fuel belief which causes us to take more action and get more results.

When you're making the record, you're not thinking about an audience, but you still need them and you want them.

Democracy is something that you must learn each generation. It has to be taught.

God pours His oil into clean vessels!

I don't like reindeer. They seem like regular deer, only more dangerous.

I don't listen to music. I hate music.

I'm not a "conservative" because I see precious little left in this world worth conserving. Playing defense, it seems to me, can only forestall an inevitable slide into tyranny.

Until quite recently dance in America was the ragged Cinderella of the arts . . .

I don't even know what success is.

Imagine? Yeah I can imagine John Lennon being dead.
