In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in, legendary news reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are speaking at Emory for the annual Goodrich C. White Lecture.
A question-and-answer session will follow the discussion, which is free and open to the public. Books with autographed bookplates will be available for purchase at Glenn.
In the early 1970s, Woodward and Bernstein broke the Watergate scandal for the Washington Post, which ultimately brought down Richard Nixon's presidency. Their work set the standard for modern investigative reporting, for which they and the Post were awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Together, Woodward and Bernstein wrote two classic best sellers: "All the President's Men," about their experience covering the Watergate story and "The Final Days," about the denouement of the Nixon presidency.
