Watergate had become the center of the media's universe, and during the remaining year of my presidency the media tried to force everything else to revolve around it.

You must never give up. You must remember that you have to take risks in order to achieve anything and sometimes you will suffer defeat. But the mark of any individual is to recover from defeat and disappointment and go on and give it his best shot.
