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.

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

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

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.

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.

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