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.

More quotes by Bob Woodward
Deep Throat's information, and in my view, courage, allowed the newspaper to use what he knew and suspected.
Bob Woodward
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.
Bob Woodward
The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
Bob Woodward
I don't think it's useful for somebody to argue with reviews.
Bob Woodward
I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.
Bob Woodward
They need to review this secret world. We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot.
Bob Woodward
There are people who take rumors and embellish them in a way that can be devastating. And this pollution has to be eradicated by people in our business as best we can.
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
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.
Bob Woodward
Finally, the president added, 'The American people are idealists, but they also want their leaders to be realistic...'
Bob Woodward
Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Bob Woodward
Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.
Bob Woodward
Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.
Bob Woodward
Newspapers that are truly independent, like The Washington Post, can still aggressively investigate anyone or anything with no holds barred.
Bob Woodward
There is a garbage culture out there, where we pour garbage on people. Then the pollsters run around and take a poll and say, do you smell anything?
Bob Woodward
I believe there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.
Bob Woodward
I think the problem in the Republican Party is really not money. I think they've got lots of it. I think it is theory of the case - why are we here, what is our message, how to connect to the real world.
Bob Woodward
I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.
Bob Woodward
Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.
Bob Woodward
It would be absurd for me or any other editor to review the authenticity or accuracy of stories that are nominated for prizes.
