The Nixon administration really put a lot of pressure on CBS not to run the second broadcast.

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

They cut about seven minutes from that broadcast, but it was still vital to the story's momentum.

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.

Maybe some of today's papers have too many 'feel-good' features, but there is a lot of good news out there.

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.
