If I were investigating the local dog catcher, I wouldn't try to get phone records, but we had a story alleging that the President of the United States was involved in a conspiracy.
-Bob Woodward, Library Journal, May 1, 1976

In-depth reporting—I've shied away from the term investigative reporting—is a burn-out profession, and so through the good graces of The [Washington] Post and my publishers, I've set it up so I can do these projects and books in tandem, and avoid some of that tendency to burn out.
-Bob Woodward, New York Times, April 12, 1990
