The “All the President’s Men” co-authors spoke with ABC News.
ABC News' Jonathan Karl sits down with Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein at the Watergate Hotel.Fifty years after they published “All the President’s Men,” Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein remain “joined at the hip.”
“But more than that, we didn't think the truth about Watergate was going to ever come out,” Bernstein added. Bernstein was skeptical. “ that it would be an undisguised ego trip and recognized as such, that we should just stick with the facts of Watergate,” he recalled. “But Woodward said, ‘Look, we don't have anything to write about at this point but ourselves.’”“Carl sat out by the swimming pool in the most awful pair of green shorts you've ever seen,” Woodward joked.
Added Woodward: “What it demonstrates is the power of collaboration. We learn in our personal lives you never do anything alone effectively. And it's the same with journalism.” He went on, “You see in the movie those people who talked to us enabled us to get our foot in the door. And the movie took it to another level, because visually, you see what we write, and it has a different kind of power.”
