Colodny and Gettlin
discovered that
Woodward's past is not
the usual route one
would expect for a cub
reporter. For his own
part, Woodward has been
very vague about his road
to journalism success.
Kissinger was a r*-<i 1 monkey wrench in
things "
Hecause the group eventually caught m
tin- Watergate break in had also imcstigat
i d the Moorer Rad ford incident, an in
depth investigation of that group, known
,is the plumbers, posed a threat of e\
posing not only Haig's role in the spying,
but also tlie ultimate goal of bringing
down the president
While ( Itiel id stall, Haig's only coni ern
should have been protecting the president
and providing him with good advice In
stead, (us main goal was to cover his own
tracks, and those ,i| the |( s, concerning
Mo,rer is.idlord

advice and manipulation by Haig that ac

Next on the list ot exposed mvtlls is
ji’.irn.ilism's demigod. Bob Woodward
(inliiiim and Goldin discovored that
Woodward's past is not the usual route
(Jin would expect lor a r ub reporter For
Ills own part. Woodward has been very
y.igue about bis road to journalism sue
Vft. r graduating from Vain. Woodward
s; 'fit five voars .'in tho--’Officii.of Naval In

only four, but Woodward claimed rod tape
delayed his release Woodward's lather,
however, told the authors that Ills son vol

< ause he was excited about his assign
ment.
Woodward consistently characterized
bis job in the Navy .is "miserable" and
boring He said ho did nothing but direct

role involved "briefing" the highest mill
