The Sept. 11 period really was an aberration - hurricane Katrina has reawakened the sleeping giant, and I believe we'll now see a return to the Watergate era of hard-hitting reporting in the United States.
Paul Levinson
The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents to by-pass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election.
Gerald R. Ford
This was after Watergate and everybody wanted to be an investigative journalist and there were just no jobs available.
Donna Doherty
He was a bridge for the muckrakers of a century ago and the crop that came out of Watergate. He held politicians to a level of accountability in an era where journalists were very deferential to those in power.
Mark Feldstein
Watergate involved a wholesale corruption of government, ... This matter involves the concealing of a private affair in which the majority of facts are already known.
John Conyers
Remember Watergate. Remember Enron. Remember the secret wiretapping of American citizens. All these stories were brought to light because of confidential sources.
Jim Taricani
It's almost classic Watergate. It's not the crime. It's the cover-up.
Bob Grossfeld
I was in the Nixon White House during Watergate, and we pretended that we were all about business as usual. And we had a president who was talking to the portraits. It was not business as usual, but you have to say it.
David R. Gergen
Watergate showed more strengths in our system than weaknesses... The whole country did take part in quite a genuine sense in passing judgment on Richard Nixon.

For the first time since the Watergate-era abuses, the NSA is spying on Americans again, and on a large scale. The Bush administration has swept aside nearly 30 years of rules and regulations and has secretly brought the NSA back into the business of domestic espionage.

The culture of corruption has finally spilled over into public view. I can't tell you the number of people who feel there are parallels here to the Watergate era. People are tired of this regime. The White House can't change until 2008. The Senate won't likely change. The House of Representatives is the most realistic place for change.

I think that accepting an artificial time limit on this particular inquiry would be about as foolish as the Democrats who controlled the Watergate committee felt the same thing would be.

J. G. Ballard

Bill Hogan
While growing up, on the news every night was the war in Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement. We were all talking about what was happening when Kennedy got killed and King got killed. The whole Watergate thing with Nixon was big.
Eugene Dial
Probably after Vietnam and Watergate, there was an increasing distrust of institutions, so that Jesus was still in, but the institutional church was no longer an attraction. So, I think that the dropping of the denominational label is to become more generic, less of a threat, less of a reminder of negative stereotypes if you've walked away from church.
