Alicia C Shepherd: Woodward and Bernstein November 13, 2006

Robert Upshur Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the reporters of the Washington Post, investigated the Watergate break-in and first cracked the Watergate scandal in August 1972, which led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon in 1974. Alicia C. Shepherd's 'Woodward and Bernstein' examines the intersection of journalism, politics and celebrity that occurred in the Watergate reporting and traces the divergent paths of the two journalists when their partnership collapsed soon after.
