总统班底（译文纪实）
(u. S.) Carl Bernstein Bob Woodward
Woodward had just been at the Washington Post for nine months. Saturday, June 17, 1972. Woodward received a call from a local news editor saying that five people armed with photographic equipment and electronic eavesdropping devices had been arrested in a burglary at the Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate Building in the early hours of the morning. The newsroom was unusually quiet on Saturday, and when Woodward started talking on the phone, he noticed that Bernstein was also working on the theft. Oh my God, not him. Woodward recalled some rumors in the office that Bernstein had a knack for grabbing news. ... On April 30, 1973, at 9 o'clock in the evening, Nixon delivered a televised speech to the nation. "We invite the President of the United States of America," the announcer solemnly announced. Nixon sat at his desk, which contained photos of his family on one side and a bust of Lincoln on the other. The president began his speech: "...Today, I made the most difficult decision of my tenure as president when I accepted the resignation of two of my closest colleagues...In any organization, the person at the head must be accountable. So, the responsibility should be mine. I accept that...It is a system like this that Let the facts come to light... In this case, the system includes an unwavering grand jury, honest prosecutors, courageous judges, and strong free speech..."... On August 8, 1974, Nixon gave a televised address to the nation, announcing his resignation as president.
