Woodward's sketches


* Woodward's doodling. As he chases down information on Colson, he draws his image. When he learns Colson used to write spy fiction, he adds a pair of black sunglasses.

this is incorrect; the book says Woodward was so disgusted with both Nixon and Mc Govern that he didn't vote at all, much to Bernstein's horror.


* Bernstein shoots Woodward a horrified expression when Woodward tells a potential source - who had proudly announced he was a Republican - that he too was a registered Republican.[[note]]In the book, Woodward noted he still voted for Nixon in 1972. Even with what he was finding out about the break-ins, the accepted wisdom at the time was that Watergate was just an out-of-control campaign and that Nixon had no knowledge of it.[[/note]]

* Woodward sees Bernstein taking Woodward's finished copy back to his own desk and altering it. He confronts Bernstein about it, who casually points out that he himself is a much more experienced journalist, and that he thought Woodward's copy could be improved. Woodward is stung by this, and when Bernstein suggests that if Woodward really thinks his own copy is better without Bernstein's changes than they should submit Woodward's draft. Woodward reads Bernstein's, admits that it's better, and hands Bernstein all his notes on the story, telling him angrily that he didn't mind what Bernstein did so much as the way he did it. At this point, Simons walks past Bernstein's desk.
-->'''Simons''': Woodward? Bernstein? You're both on the story. Now don't fuck it up.

** In the book, Woodward still voted for Nixon in the 1972 general election. The evidence about the Watergate break-in at the time didn't point to Nixon himself: most voters didn't even follow the reports, and the ones who did believed it was just campaign officials going rogue.
