And in the book, Deborah Davis said that Ben Bradley, the editor-in-chief of the Washington Post, was a CIA asset, and that he'd written CIA propaganda after the Cold War, or after World War II, during the Cold War.

And Bradley went ballistic on her.

And the book was published by Harcourt Brace, and Bradley threatened them

And Hardcourt Brace pulped the book.

And there were a couple of magazines that went after her, calling her unstable.

I mean, the intelligence people really tried to dismantle her.

Wow.

Because Bradley is a CIA guy, and he's head of the Washington Post.

And the last thing Bradley wants is his connection to the CIA to come out.

But what's interesting, so the book gets pulped.

And in the interim, Deborah Davis files Freedom of Information Act stuff on Bradley.

And then it comes back that Bradley is writing stuff for the CIA.

So Bradley did all that to cover himself from being connected to the CIA.

He also wants to take Nixon down.

Woodward wants to take Nixon down.

Bernstein doesn't really care.

He's an ethical eunuch.

He just wants money for nothing and chicks for free.

I mean, he eventually blows a lot of his money on Coke and hookers, and he's quite the satyr.

But so you've got Woodward and Bernstein fighting.
