The Nixon administration really put a lot of pressure on CBS not to run the second broadcast.

I give Cronkite a whole lot of credit.

They cut about seven minutes from that broadcast, but it was still vital to the story's momentum.

We were right about the slush fund. But Sloan did not testify about it to the Grand Jury.

It took us about a day and a half to find out what had gone wrong.

If an investigative reporter finds out that someone has been robbing the store, that may be "gotcha" journalism, but it's also good journalism.

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

The really tough thing would have been to decide to take Woodward and Bernstein off the story. They were carrying the coal for us - in that their stories were right.

Maybe some of today's papers have too many 'feel-good' features, but there is a lot of good news out there.

There have been as many investigative reporters on this newspaper working on Clinton's many problems as I can remember there were working on Watergate.

The Nixon administration really put a lot of pressure on CBS not to run the second broadcast.

Sure, some journalists use anonymous sources just because they're lazy and I think editors ought to insist on more precise identification even if they remain anonymous.

The champagne was flowing like the Potomac in flood.

I think he had a strange, passionate devotion to the truth and a horror at what he saw going on.

You never monkey with the truth.

The biggest difference between Kennedy and Nixon, as far as the press is concerned, is simply this: Jack Kennedy really liked newspaper people and he really enjoyed sparring with journalists.

They certainly did. They tried to make her look like a "nut case" and they succeeded to some extent.

I must be out of it, but I don't know any good journalists who have excused Clinton's problems.

We made only one real mistake. And even then we were right.

If an investigative reporter finds out that someone has been robbing the store, that may be 'gotcha' journalism, but it's also good journalism.

I think the conscientious pursuit of happiness by itself can validate decisions to change, to try again, especially when failure to change will lead to lives of duplicity, dishonesty, and deceit.

News is the first draft of history.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had, but it looks like we need to relearn them again.

What makes me laugh? Richard Nixon always made me laugh.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back.

Now I start my diary of my personal plot to kill by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace.

I thought Nixon was the worst President we had ever had, save only perhaps Andrew Johnson.

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.

The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to have around, especially as President.

Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.

He and Reagan were not at all alike, because Reagan is an optimist and Dick Nixon wasn't. Yet in some ways they were alike. Neither really liked to talk on the telephone, for instance. And, in a lot of respects, both of them were very much loners.

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

The Nixon administration kept a nasty eye on our show... Cops would come by - often just in time to see the act they wanted to see.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.

The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it.

The old Court you and I served so long will not be worthy of its traditions if Nixon can twist, turn and fashion If Nixon gets away with that, then Nixon makes the law as he goes along - not the Congress nor the courts.

The number of illegal activities were so large that one was bound to come out and lead to the uncovering of the others. Nixon was too willing to use the power of government to settle scores and get even with enemies.

I wrote that letter, and the one to Nixon. And I wrote more letters, and I thought it might be a magazine article. At that time I sent it to Esquire and Playboy, but anyway, I kept writing, and all of sudden I had enough and thought, well maybe it is a book.

Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.

It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

In many ways when Jerry Ford pardoned Nixon, in a certain way, he did speak for the country.

There were dragons to slay in the old days. Nixon was a good dragon.

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

The Nixon years were trying. They honed my judgment for everything I did later on. The experience also illustrated for me the importance of training young lawyers properly.

Nixon is finding out there are no tails on an Eisenhower jacket.
