Conflict of Interest

Who better to turn to for additional information behind the Watergate break-in than the Washington Post, the paper that broke the story in the first place?

There's Something in the Watergate

Watergate.info has, believe it or not, info about Watergate, including a picture of Deep Throat. (No, not that Deep Throat.)

Just the Fax

UT Austin had an exhibit of Watergate documents, but you can peep the top secret sheets online.

Book or TV Adaptations

Presidential Seal of Disapproval

The book has been around even longer than the movie, and it has had dozens of covers over the years. Our favorite is this one of Nixon in color, but looking shady, and all his men in sketchy black and white.

History Repeats Itself

You don't have to wait for a rerun to see the History Channel's version of how the Watergate scandal went down. It's online 24/7.

Articles and Interviews

Historical Caricatures

Cartoonist Michael Cavna writes about the Post leaving its iconic offices, and gives us a crazy comic parody of All the President's Men.

Over Achievers

The Academy of Achievement interviews the real Bob Woodward and Ben Bradlee, and they answer questions about paranoia, journalism ethics, and the consequences suffered by the men behind the break-in. (Perhaps there's an Academy of Underachievers with a profile of Nixon.)

Old News is Good News

Robert Redford is officially old enough to be interviewed by the AARP, but he still remembers some behind-the-scenes tidbits of ATPM (that's All the President's Men).

Video

What You Don't Know Can Hurt You

Forty years after their investigation, Woodward and Bernstein talk about the Nixon tapes, which came to light during the Watergate hearings. The journalists know this video will be seen by the public, unlike Nixon and his recordings.

A New Discovery

Men. They're never satisfied with just telling their story once. Hence the Discovery channel special All the President's Men Revisited, featuring interviews with Woodward, Bernstein, and Redford, among others.

Audio

Ask Him No More Questions, He'll Still Tell You Lies

What would Woodward and Bernstein ask Nixon if they could ask him one question? "Why?" is their answer. Or their question. And Nixon's response would probably be "because."

Sausage Fest

Wait, there were women involved? With names? NPR's Kate Dailey illuminates the story of Judy Hoback, the bookkeeper who played critical roles in uncovering Nixon's corruption.

The Criterion Collection knows the criteria for a good DVD cover.
