"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones
A V-Day Birthday
We'd be remiss if we didn't wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day today, but the bigger event today is the 61st birthday of everyone's favorite other Watergate reporter: Carl Bernstein.
The 1973 Pulitzer Prize winner started at the Post after dropping of the University of Maryland at College Park, and was fortuitously assigned to investigate the bungled Watergate burglary with Woodward. The rest, as they say, is history. Post-Post he worked at Time, taught at NYU and briefly returned to the Post as AME for investigations. More recently, he co-authored His Holiness: John Paul II & the History of Our Time with Marco Politi.
Your Official Little Known Fact is that Bernstein grew up right next to Nixon staffer and future game show host Ben Stein. You think he might be Deep Throat?
