What I’m Reading: All The President’s Men – 35 in a series – “That operation was not only to check leaks to the papers…”

[Re:] ”Leak-plugging at the White House. “That operation was not only to check leaks to the papers but often to manufacture items for the press. It was a Colson-Hunt operation. Recipients include all of you guys—Jack Anderson, Evans and Novak, the Post and the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune. The business of Eagleton’s drunk-driving record or his health records, I understand, involves the White House and Hunt somehow. Total manipulation —that was their goal, with everyone eating at one time or another out of their hands. Even the press.”
