When you hear in the tape recordings Nixon's own voice saying, We have to stonewall, We have to lie to the Grand Jury, We have to pay burglars a million dollars, it's all too clear the horror of what went on.
Bob Woodward

Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
Bob Woodward
