All the President's Men Scene 26 Summary

  • Woodward rushes to Bernstein's apartment, where he blares classical music in case they're being bugged. Wiretappers hate Beethoven.
  • They type to each other on the typewriter.
  • Bernstein types that Sloan would name Haldeman to the Grand Jury, but no one asked him! His exclamation point, not ours.
  • The reporters visit Bradlee at home, and talk to him outside in case his home is being tapped, too.
  • They fill him in on the scale of the situation, and the danger of it.
  • Bradlee says half the country doesn't even know what Watergate is. "Nobody gives a s***."
  • He tells them to go home and rest up anyway.
  • But only for fifteen minutes.
  • "Nothing is riding on this except the First Amendment of the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country. Not that any of that matters."
  • Looks like they still have their jobs.
