The Watergate scandal was about to be revealed to the masses, finally.
Bob Woodward leaned over his desk across the newsroom while scribbling notes furiously. Glancing at Bernstein with his eyes questioning, conveying his thoughts.
Bob saw Bernstein nodding his head. But that was enough for Bob to understand.
Bob straightened up, feeling the pressure that was about to arrive soon.
