Obviously the publishers, because of historical curiosity or the significance of it, I think expected more, ... It obviously was not as much as some of my other books, but I don't know how much a writer can get involved in trying to second-guess that.

[In a telephone interview, Mr. Woodward said he had apologized to Mr. Downie for not disclosing his own part in such a long-running story long ago and said he had kept a deliberately low profile to protect his sources.] The terms of engagement change when a reporter and reporters are being subpoenaed, agreeing to testify, being forced to testify, being jailed...

And to really make sure that I don't become part of this process, but not to be less aggressive in reporting the news.
