Bob Woodward quotes about

wisdom people stories
Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television, batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.

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.
swag numbers literature

I have gone on the air and announced my telephone number at the Washington Post. I go into the night, talking to people, looking for things. The great dreaded thing every reporter lives with is what you don't know. The source you didn't go to. The phone call you didn't return.

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.

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.

lying literature should
There's hostility to lying, and there should be.
money giving literature
I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.
team military division
...Obama said, 'I welcome debate among my team, but I won't tolerate division'.
agreement profound culture
Clinton feels a profound alienation from the Washington culture here, and I happen to agree with him.
literature trouble deals
The legislator learns that when you talk a lot, you get in trouble. You have to listen a lot to make deals.
