116Secretary would like a word.
117You wanna follow me?
118
11927
12000:04:14,997 --> 00:04:17,231
121Well, you can say what
122you want to the President.
123
12428
12500:04:17,233 --> 00:04:19,567
126I've read every one
127of Ellsberg's reports...
128
12929
13000:04:19,569 --> 00:04:22,403
131and I'm telling you,
132it's just not the case.
133
13430
13500:04:22,405 --> 00:04:23,874
136Dan, you know Mr. Komer.
137
13831
13900:04:25,042 --> 00:04:26,941
140He's been discussing the war
141with the President...
142
14332
14400:04:26,943 --> 00:04:28,442
145and, well,
146his sense is that we've made
147
14833
14900:04:28,444 --> 00:04:29,877
150real progress
151over the past year...
152
15334
15400:04:29,879 --> 00:04:31,478
155but I've been doing my own
156review, and it seems to me...
157
15835
15900:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,913
160that things have gotten worse.
161
16236
16300:04:32,915 --> 00:04:34,014
164But neither of us
165have been in the field.
166
16737
16800:04:34,016 --> 00:04:35,249
169You have,
170you're the one who knows.
171
17238
17300:04:35,251 --> 00:04:37,485
174So, what do you say?
175
17639
17700:04:37,487 --> 00:04:39,390
178Are things better or worse?
179
18040
18100:04:40,924 --> 00:04:42,590
182Well, Mr. Secretary...
183
18441
18500:04:42,592 --> 00:04:45,692
186what I'm most impressed by is
187how much things are the same.
188
18942
19000:04:45,694 --> 00:04:48,064
191You see, that's exactly
192what I'm saying.
193
19443
19500:04:49,732 --> 00:04:50,999
196We put another
197hundred thousand troops
198
19944
20000:04:51,001 --> 00:04:52,867
201into the field,
202things are no better.
203
20445
20500:04:52,869 --> 00:04:55,339
206To me, that means things
207are actually worse.
208
20946
21000:04:57,741 --> 00:04:59,143
211Thank you, Dan.

224your trip, sir? Sir.
225
22650
22700:05:10,587 --> 00:05:11,920
228Good afternoon, gentlemen.
229
23051
23100:05:11,922 --> 00:05:13,687
232I don't have
233any prepared remarks...
234
23552
23600:05:13,689 --> 00:05:15,922
237but I'd be very happy to take
238your questions one at a time.
239
24053
24100:05:15,924 --> 00:05:17,626
242- Jim.
243- Mr. Secretary...
244
24554
24600:05:17,628 --> 00:05:19,026
247I'm wondering
248if the trip left you
249
25055
25100:05:19,028 --> 00:05:20,461
252optimistic or pessimistic...
253
25456
25500:05:20,463 --> 00:05:22,898
256about our prospects in this
257war and our ability to win it.
258
25957
26000:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,100
261He asked whether I was
262optimistic or pessimistic.
263
26458
26500:05:25,102 --> 00:05:26,634
266Today, I can tell you
267that military progress
268
26959
27000:05:26,636 --> 00:05:27,802
271over the past 12 months...
272
27360
27400:05:27,804 --> 00:05:29,271
275has exceeded our expectations.
276
27761
27800:05:29,273 --> 00:05:31,939
279We're very encouraged by what
280we're seeing in Vietnam.
281
28262
28300:05:31,941 --> 00:05:34,107
284In every respect,
285we're making progress.
286
28763
28800:05:34,109 --> 00:05:35,776
289And I'm especially pleased
290to have had
291
29264
29300:05:35,778 --> 00:05:37,345
294Bob Komer along for the trip.
295
29665
29700:05:37,347 --> 00:05:38,379
298So he could see for himself
299
30066
30100:05:38,381 --> 00:05:40,014
302that we've been
303showing great improvement...
304

484106
48500:10:38,749 --> 00:10:40,881
486For them.
487But, you know, the bankers
488
489107
49000:10:40,883 --> 00:10:42,415
491always do fiddle
492with the prices.
493
494108
49500:10:42,417 --> 00:10:46,085
496But for us,
497that's over $3 million...
498
499109
50000:10:46,087 --> 00:10:48,990
501and that represents

508111
50900:10:50,893 --> 00:10:53,194

511in the newsroom?
512
513112
51400:10:53,196 --> 00:10:54,761
515You're far less profitable

539They demand more.
540
541118
54200:11:05,374 --> 00:11:09,412
543That's why we invest
544in really good reporters.

548And so...

594- Mmm-hmm.
595
596130
59700:11:31,066 --> 00:11:32,800
598- See you downtown.
599- I'll see you.
600
601131
60200:11:32,802 --> 00:11:34,468
603You think
604this is really necessary?
605
606132
60700:11:34,470 --> 00:11:35,670
608Oh, God, yes.
609
610133
61100:11:35,672 --> 00:11:39,240
612Darling, you should hear how
613they talk at these meetings.
614
615134
61600:11:39,242 --> 00:11:40,909
617It's as if
618it's in a foreign language.
619
620135
62100:11:40,911 --> 00:11:43,213
622No, I meant
623taking the company public.
624
625136
62600:11:48,283 --> 00:11:51,785
627It seems we are cash poor.
628
629137
63000:11:51,787 --> 00:11:53,286
631You know, barely solvent.
632
633138
63400:11:53,288 --> 00:11:54,955
635That's the newspaper business.
636
637139
63800:11:54,957 --> 00:11:56,357
639That's
640our newspaper business...
641
642140
64300:11:56,359 --> 00:11:57,958
644and we need
645the public offering
646
647141
64800:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,160
649to stay in business
650and to continue to grow.
651
652142
65300:12:00,162 --> 00:12:01,462
654That's what Fritz says.
655
656143
65700:12:01,464 --> 00:12:03,263
658And he also says
659that the family
660
661144
66200:12:03,265 --> 00:12:05,501
663can maintain control if we...
664
665145
66600:12:06,769 --> 00:12:08,602
667Anyway, I'm just not sure
668your grandfather...
669
670146
67100:12:08,604 --> 00:12:10,938
672would have wanted us to
673give up any control at all.
674
675147
67600:12:14,210 --> 00:12:16,243
677- Hello?
678- Mrs. Graham?
679
680148
68100:12:16,245 --> 00:12:18,179
682Yes? This is she.
683
684149
68500:12:18,181 --> 00:12:20,749
686Please hold
687for the Chief of Staff.
688
689150
69000:12:21,683 --> 00:12:22,685
691Who is it?
692
693151
69400:12:23,686 --> 00:12:25,352
695Haldeman.
696
697152
69800:12:25,354 --> 00:12:26,753
699Mrs. Graham,
700Bob Haldeman.
701
702153
70300:12:26,755 --> 00:12:28,287
704Yes, hello.
705
706154
70700:12:28,289 --> 00:12:31,391
708We've got a bit of
709an issue over here.
710
711155
71200:12:31,393 --> 00:12:33,059
713Oh?
714
715156
71600:12:33,061 --> 00:12:34,428
717Well,
718that makes perfect sense.
719
720157
72100:12:34,430 --> 00:12:35,996
722Do you agree with that?
723
724158
72500:12:35,998 --> 00:12:37,964
726Without a doubt.
727
728159
72900:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,276
730Oh, Jesus.
731
732160
73300:12:47,510 --> 00:12:49,208
734I'm so sorry.
735
736161
73700:12:49,210 --> 00:12:50,878
738- Sorry, sorry, sorry.
739- Good morning.
740
741162
74200:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,982
743So late. I had to get all this
744stuff together...
745
746163
74700:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,085
748and then I had
749an unexpected call.
750
751164
75200:12:58,087 --> 00:13:00,987
753Well, what is
754with the suitcase?
755
756165
75700:13:00,989 --> 00:13:04,125
758Ben, I told you,
759this is the day.
760
761166
76200:13:04,127 --> 00:13:05,526
763We're meeting
764with the bankers today.
765
766167
76700:13:05,528 --> 00:13:08,094
768- Oh, yes. Right, right.
769- You know this.
770
771168
77200:13:08,096 --> 00:13:09,796
773I bet you every dollar
774in my wallet
775
776169
77700:13:09,798 --> 00:13:10,930
778that you are
779the only person...
780
781170
78200:13:10,932 --> 00:13:13,367
783in that boardroom who's read
784through all that nonsense.
785
786171
78700:13:13,369 --> 00:13:16,102
788I'm probably
789the only one who needs to.
790
791172
79200:13:16,104 --> 00:13:18,939
793What do you think
794of Neil Sheehan?
795
796173
79700:13:18,941 --> 00:13:20,940
798Oh, gosh,
799his coverage of Vietnam
800
801174
80200:13:20,942 --> 00:13:22,676
803is just absolutely marvelous.
804
805175
80600:13:22,678 --> 00:13:23,810
807Why?
808
809176
81000:13:23,812 --> 00:13:26,247
811You thinking of trying to
812steal him from The Times?
813
814177
81500:13:26,249 --> 00:13:27,747
816I'm not sure
817we can afford him.
818
819178
82000:13:27,749 --> 00:13:30,952
821He... He hasn't had
822a piece in three months.
823
824179
82500:13:30,954 --> 00:13:32,319
826Oh?
827
828180
82900:13:32,321 --> 00:13:34,421
830Do you think
831he's onto something?
832
833181
83400:13:34,423 --> 00:13:36,690
835Well, I saw Abe
836at a dinner party last week
837
838182
83900:13:36,692 --> 00:13:40,294
840and he was looking
841mighty, mighty smug.
842
843183
84400:13:40,296 --> 00:13:42,796
845Doesn't he always?
846
847184
84800:13:42,798 --> 00:13:43,931
849So who was it?
850
851185
85200:13:43,933 --> 00:13:45,065
853Who was what?
854
855186
85600:13:45,067 --> 00:13:47,200
857Your unexpected call.
858
859187
86000:13:47,202 --> 00:13:50,271
861Oh, I buried the lede.
862
863188
86400:13:50,273 --> 00:13:52,205
865The White House.
866
867189
86800:13:52,207 --> 00:13:54,175
869- Haldeman rang.
870- Yeah?
871
872190
87300:13:54,177 --> 00:13:56,377
874It seems
875the President has decided
876
877191
87800:13:56,379 --> 00:13:58,246
879not to provide Judith...
880
881192
88200:13:58,248 --> 00:14:00,314
883with credentials
884to cover the Nixon wedding.
885
886193
88700:14:00,316 --> 00:14:02,348
888- Jesus Christ.
889- Yeah.
890
891194
89200:14:02,350 --> 00:14:04,584
893They said we could
894send another reporter.
895
896195
89700:14:04,586 --> 00:14:07,253
898Oh, yeah? Can't believe that.
899
900196
90100:14:07,255 --> 00:14:08,988
902I know, I know.
903
904197
90500:14:08,990 --> 00:14:10,357
906- But...
907- But what?
908
909198
91000:14:10,359 --> 00:14:11,592
911I'm not sure I entirely blame
912
913199
91400:14:11,594 --> 00:14:13,460
915the President
916on this one, Ben.
917
918200
91900:14:13,462 --> 00:14:14,661
920No?
921
922201
92300:14:14,663 --> 00:14:16,631
924Would you want Judith to cover
925your daughter's wedding?
926
927202
92800:14:16,633 --> 00:14:18,332
929Well, my daughter's
930only 10 years old...
931
932203
93300:14:18,334 --> 00:14:20,067
934I think she burned her bridges
935
936204
93700:14:20,069 --> 00:14:22,170
938when she
939crashed Julie's reception.
940
941205
94200:14:22,172 --> 00:14:23,771
943- They're being punitive.
944- Her pen is so sharp.
945
946206
94700:14:23,773 --> 00:14:25,173
948- Of course it's punitive.
949- This is punitive.
950
951207
95200:14:25,175 --> 00:14:27,440
953Of course it's punitive.
954
955208
95600:14:27,442 --> 00:14:31,444
957She compared Tricia Nixon
958to a vanilla ice cream cone.
959
960209
96100:14:31,446 --> 00:14:33,780
962- Yeah, she did.
963- Yeah.
964
965210
96600:14:33,782 --> 00:14:35,616
967I mean, why would
968her father want Judy
969
970211
97100:14:35,618 --> 00:14:37,184
972to cover
973his daughter's wedding?
974
975212
97600:14:37,186 --> 00:14:38,685
977Oh, come on.
978
979213
98000:14:38,687 --> 00:14:39,987
981I just...
982
983214
98400:14:39,989 --> 00:14:43,623
985Are you sure we're striking
986the right tone here, Ben?
987
988215
98900:14:43,625 --> 00:14:45,025
990Oh, we're gonna
991do this again?
992
993216
99400:14:45,027 --> 00:14:46,993
995No. Uh,
996the New Style section.
997
998217
99900:14:46,995 --> 00:14:50,463
1000Sometimes that stiletto party
1001coverage can be a little mean.
1002
1003218
100400:14:50,465 --> 00:14:52,433
1005I'm handling it.
1006I'm looking for a new editor.
1007
1008219
100900:14:52,435 --> 00:14:53,733
1010Yes, are you?
1011Because I know
1012
1013220
101400:14:53,735 --> 00:14:56,203
1015I've talked to you
1016about this before.
1017
1018221
101900:14:56,205 --> 00:14:59,740
1020You are losing
1021female readership, you know.
1022
1023222
102400:14:59,742 --> 00:15:01,407
1025And I think you might
1026want to focus more
1027
1028223
102900:15:01,409 --> 00:15:02,543
1030on what women read...
1031
1032224
103300:15:02,545 --> 00:15:05,515
1034Katharine, keep your finger
1035outta my eye.
1036
1037225
103800:15:12,388 --> 00:15:13,787
1039You...
1040
1041226
104200:15:16,725 --> 00:15:18,825
1043These breakfasts
1044were your idea, you know.
1045
1046227
104700:15:18,827 --> 00:15:22,396
1048Yes. And you are the publisher
1049and you are my boss.
1050
1051228
105200:15:22,398 --> 00:15:24,165
1053And I, uh...
1054I value the input,
1055
1056229
105700:15:24,167 --> 00:15:26,400
1058but I... I heard you
1059the first three times.
1060
1061230
106200:15:26,402 --> 00:15:29,203
1063You know, I just think
1064there might be another way...
1065
1066231
106700:15:29,205 --> 00:15:31,439
1068that we could cool it with
1069the White House.
1070
1071232
107200:15:31,441 --> 00:15:34,641
1073Maybe we could just send
1074somebody else, you know...
1075
1076233
107700:15:34,643 --> 00:15:37,310
1078Nope, nope. Nope. I'm not
1079gonna send another reporter.
1080
1081234
108200:15:37,312 --> 00:15:39,280
1083Because it's not
1084hard news, Ben.
1085
1086235
108700:15:39,282 --> 00:15:40,615
1088It's just a wedding.
1089
1090236
109100:15:40,617 --> 00:15:42,382
1092It's not just a wedding.
1093
1094237
109500:15:42,384 --> 00:15:43,450
1096It's a wedding of the daughter
1097
1098238
109900:15:43,452 --> 00:15:45,151
1100of the President
1101of the United States.
1102
1103239
110400:15:45,153 --> 00:15:46,686
1105Why not let that girl
1106have her day?
1107
1108240
110900:15:46,688 --> 00:15:48,322
1110And we can't have
1111an administration
1112
1113241
111400:15:48,324 --> 00:15:49,555
1115dictating to us
1116our coverage...
1117
1118242
111900:15:49,557 --> 00:15:50,790
1120just because they don't like
1121
1122243
112300:15:50,792 --> 00:15:53,696
1124what we print about them
1125in our newspaper.
1126
1127244
112800:15:58,167 --> 00:16:00,300
1129Wonder if Abe
1130cares so passionately
1131
1132245
113300:16:00,302 --> 00:16:02,402
1134about who covers
1135the wedding for his paper.
1136
1137246
113800:16:02,404 --> 00:16:04,405
1139I don't give a rat's ass
1140what Abe or anybody
1141
1142247
114300:16:04,407 --> 00:16:06,073
1144at The New York Times
1145cares about.
1146
1147248
114800:16:06,075 --> 00:16:07,607
1149Not true.
1150I give one rat's ass.
1151
1152249
115300:16:07,609 --> 00:16:09,676
1154- Yeah.
1155- One retromingent...
1156
1157250
115800:16:09,678 --> 00:16:11,513
1159rat's ass.
1160
1161251
116200:16:37,105 --> 00:16:38,372
1163Well, it's real important.
1164
1165252
116600:16:38,374 --> 00:16:40,774
1167Can you get him for me?
1168
1169253
117000:16:40,776 --> 00:16:44,147
1171Tell them it's from Sheehan.
1172Don't walk.
1173
1174254
117500:17:11,273 --> 00:17:12,641
1176It's from Sheehan.
1177
1178255
117900:17:19,515 --> 00:17:21,551
1180Abe, here it is.
1181
1182256
118300:17:38,434 --> 00:17:39,665
1184Okay,
1185Broder's got Nixon
1186
1187257
118800:17:39,667 --> 00:17:41,801
1189working on his second term.
1190
1191258
119200:17:41,803 --> 00:17:45,005
1193Osnos has something on G.I.s
1194buying heroin in Saigon...
1195
1196259
119700:17:45,007 --> 00:17:47,607
1198but Ryder's got
1199a rocket on the FBI list
1200
1201260
120200:17:47,609 --> 00:17:48,809
1203of potential subversives.
1204
1205261
120600:17:48,811 --> 00:17:50,377
1207Save it for the afternoon.
1208
1209262
121000:17:50,379 --> 00:17:52,479
1211I need Chal and Judith.
1212
1213263
121400:17:52,481 --> 00:17:53,780
1215Judith!
1216
1217264
121800:17:53,782 --> 00:17:55,982
1219Is that real,
1220the subversives list?
1221
1222265
122300:17:55,984 --> 00:17:58,319
1224Oh, yeah. Hoover
1225and Justice keep a copy.
1226
1227266
122800:17:58,321 --> 00:17:59,619
1229Thousands of names.
1230
1231267
123200:17:59,621 --> 00:18:01,288
1233Geyelin heard the White House
1234is shutting Judith out.
1235
1236268
123700:18:01,290 --> 00:18:02,356
1238Yeah, I'm working on that.
1239
1240269
124100:18:02,358 --> 00:18:03,723
1242We think editorial
1243should run something.
1244
1245270
124600:18:03,725 --> 00:18:05,358
1247I just heard somebody say
1248they're working on that.
1249
1250271
125100:18:05,360 --> 00:18:06,426
1252Well, if the White House is
1253
1254272
125500:18:06,428 --> 00:18:07,528
1256gonna take
1257a stance like that...
1258
1259273
126000:18:07,530 --> 00:18:10,032
1261don't you think
1262we should plant a flag?
1263
1264274
126500:18:12,167 --> 00:18:16,203
1266Did you see Sheehan at the
1267Kissinger press conference?
1268
1269275
127000:18:16,205 --> 00:18:17,370
1271No.
1272
1273276
127400:18:17,372 --> 00:18:19,139
1275What about the Al Haig thing?
1276
1277277
127800:18:19,141 --> 00:18:21,143
1279No, Times sent the new kid.
1280
1281278
128200:18:21,878 --> 00:18:23,310
1283The new kid, huh?
1284
1285279
128600:18:23,312 --> 00:18:25,378
1287You think Sheehan's
1288onto something.
1289
1290280
129100:18:25,380 --> 00:18:26,946
1292Yeah.
1293
1294281
129500:18:26,948 --> 00:18:29,482
1296Well, Neil has been known
1297to disappear.
1298
1299282
130000:18:29,484 --> 00:18:32,351
1301No, no. I'm telling you,
1302he has something.
1303
1304283
130500:18:32,353 --> 00:18:34,555
1306You want me to do
1307a little digging?
1308
1309284
131000:18:34,557 --> 00:18:37,223
1311No, that's below
1312your pay grade.
1313
1314285
131500:18:37,225 --> 00:18:38,561
1316Intern!
1317

1322
1323287
132400:18:42,231 --> 00:18:44,632
1325Uh, no, Mr. Bradlee.
1326
1327288
132800:18:44,634 --> 00:18:47,167
1329Well, everything we do
1330is important at The Post.
1331
1332289
133300:18:47,169 --> 00:18:48,569
1334Yeah. That's $40.
1335
1336290
133700:18:48,571 --> 00:18:51,638
1338I want you to take the
1339first train up to New York...
1340
1341291
134200:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,441
1343and go to
1344The Times building on 43rd.
1345
1346292
134700:18:53,443 --> 00:18:54,642
1348Don't tell them
1349who you work for...
1350
1351293
135200:18:54,644 --> 00:18:57,310
1353but find a reporter
1354by the name of Sheehan.
1355
1356294
135700:18:57,312 --> 00:18:58,878
1358Uh, Neil Sheehan?
1359

136100:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,519
1362Yeah, yeah, find out what
1363Neil Sheehan is working on.
1364
1365296
136600:19:04,286 --> 00:19:06,118
1367Is that legal?
1368
1369297
137000:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,790
1371Well, what is it you think we
1372do here for a living, kid?
1373
1374298
137500:19:09,792 --> 00:19:11,290
1376Get a receipt for the tickets.
1377
1378299
137900:19:11,292 --> 00:19:12,294
1380Yeah.
1381
1382300
138300:19:28,510 --> 00:19:30,980
1384- Morning, Mrs. Graham.
1385- Hello, morning.
1386
1387301
138800:19:34,650 --> 00:19:36,716
1389Hello.
1390Morning, everybody.
1391
1392302
139300:19:36,718 --> 00:19:38,051
1394- Hi, Oz.
1395- Mrs. Graham.
1396
1397303
139800:19:38,053 --> 00:19:39,288
1399Morning, Arthur.
1400
1401304
140200:19:40,589 --> 00:19:42,191
1403Hello. Hello, everyone.
1404
1405305
140600:19:44,726 --> 00:19:46,594
1407So, everyone's here.
1408
1409306
141000:19:46,596 --> 00:19:49,363
1411- Hello, Ray. My Galahad.
1412- Good morning.
1413
1414307
141500:19:49,365 --> 00:19:50,900
1416Thank you.
1417
1418308
141900:20:02,211 --> 00:20:03,543
1420And I used to be the only one
1421
1422309
142300:20:03,545 --> 00:20:05,479
1424who brought
1425his homework to class.
1426
1427310
142800:20:07,750 --> 00:20:10,550
1429I think we're all here.
1430Should we get started?
1431
1432311
143300:20:10,552 --> 00:20:11,952
1434Didn't you crash the wedding
1435
1436312
143700:20:11,954 --> 00:20:14,253
1438of Nixon's other daughter
1439to get a story?
1440
1441313
144200:20:14,255 --> 00:20:17,057
1443Well, I did get a story but I
1444didn't crash Julie's wedding.
1445
1446314
144700:20:17,059 --> 00:20:19,126
1448No, just the reception
1449afterwards, right?
1450
1451315
145200:20:19,128 --> 00:20:20,359
1453There is a distinction.
1454
1455316
145600:20:20,361 --> 00:20:21,462
1457Not to
1458the father of the bride.
1459
1460317
146100:20:21,464 --> 00:20:22,762
1462He's paying per plate.
1463
1464318
146500:20:22,764 --> 00:20:24,531
1466I think the American people
1467are paying per plate.
1468
1469319
147000:20:24,533 --> 00:20:26,066
1471Wait, let's do
1472a story about that.
1473
1474320
147500:20:26,068 --> 00:20:28,502
1476- Yeah, let's...
1477- Judith should crash again.
1478
1479321
148000:20:28,504 --> 00:20:29,735
1481I didn't crash
1482Julie's wedding.
1483
1484322
148500:20:29,737 --> 00:20:31,038
1486What would you
1487call it, Judith?
1488
1489323
149000:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,873
1491Well, I would call it
1492deft reportage.
1493
1494324
149500:20:32,875 --> 00:20:34,508
1496All right, come on,
1497come on, everybody.
1498
1499325
150000:20:34,510 --> 00:20:37,647
1501How are we gonna cover
1502this Nixon-Cox wedding?
1503
1504326
150500:20:41,984 --> 00:20:43,951
1506Uh... Who else
1507is gonna be there?
1508
1509327
151000:20:43,953 --> 00:20:45,417
1511- Here.
1512- Judith's got the guest list.
1513
1514328
151500:20:45,419 --> 00:20:47,287
1516No, I mean of
1517the other press.
1518
1519329
152000:20:47,289 --> 00:20:50,290
1521The Times, the Sun, the Globe,
1522all the international papers.
1523
1524330
152500:20:50,292 --> 00:20:51,957
1526All right.
1527
1528331
152900:20:51,959 --> 00:20:55,631
1530So, we call them,
1531we call all of them...
1532
1533332
153400:20:56,564 --> 00:20:59,466
1535and we say Nixon
1536has shut us out...
1537
1538333
153900:20:59,468 --> 00:21:02,167
1540and then we ask them
1541for their notes.
1542
1543334
154400:21:02,169 --> 00:21:04,570
1545Ben, there's no way in hell
1546anyone's gonna give me a fill.
1547
1548335
154900:21:04,572 --> 00:21:07,508
1550No, it'll be
1551an act of solidarity.
1552
1553336
155400:21:07,510 --> 00:21:10,010
1555They'll be defending
1556the First Amendment.
1557
1558337
155900:21:10,012 --> 00:21:11,845
1560We'll tell them
1561that the only way
1562
1563338
156400:21:11,847 --> 00:21:13,780
1565to protect
1566the right to publish...
1567
1568339
156900:21:13,782 --> 00:21:15,984
1570is to publish.
1571
1572340
157300:21:21,189 --> 00:21:22,490
1574I don't understand.
1575
1576341
157700:21:22,492 --> 00:21:25,291
1578You said
1579we'd set the price at $27.
1580
1581342
158200:21:25,293 --> 00:21:26,859
1583No, we said there was a range.
1584
1585343
158600:21:26,861 --> 00:21:29,629
1587And the demand on the
1588road show was soft.
1589
1590344
159100:21:29,631 --> 00:21:32,765
1592Why not set it at $26?
1593Or $25 even?
1594
1595345
159600:21:32,767 --> 00:21:34,667
1597Well, Paul, we feel
1598that setting the price
1599
1600346
160100:21:34,669 --> 00:21:36,736
1602at $24.50 would be
1603more prudent.
1604
1605347
160600:21:36,738 --> 00:21:38,172
1607It's just a couple bucks.
1608
1609348
161000:21:38,174 --> 00:21:40,040
1611It's not just
1612a couple of bucks.
1613
1614349
161500:21:40,042 --> 00:21:42,811
1616It's 1.35 million shares...
1617
1618350
161900:21:43,212 --> 00:21:44,981
1620so it is...
1621
1622351
162300:21:46,448 --> 00:21:48,281
1624Three million.
1625
1626352
162700:21:48,283 --> 00:21:52,653
1628Over $3 million less.
1629That's a lot to a newspaper.
1630
1631353
163200:21:52,655 --> 00:21:54,553
1633How many reporters is that?
1634
1635354
163600:21:54,555 --> 00:21:55,655
1637It's 25.
1638
1639355
164000:21:55,657 --> 00:21:57,023
1641Let's not get bogged down.
1642
1643356
164400:21:57,025 --> 00:21:58,459
1645It has to be quite a few.
1646
1647357
164800:21:58,461 --> 00:22:00,063
1649At least a dozen. Fritz?
1650
1651358
165200:22:01,630 --> 00:22:03,262
1653It's 25 reporters.
1654
1655359
165600:22:03,264 --> 00:22:05,432
1657Twenty-five reporters.
1658
1659360
166000:22:05,434 --> 00:22:06,700
1661Twenty-five reporters.
1662
1663361
166400:22:06,702 --> 00:22:08,835
1665Gentlemen,
1666we know it's not ideal...
1667
1668362
166900:22:08,837 --> 00:22:10,171
1670but a few of our investors
1671
1672363
167300:22:10,173 --> 00:22:13,473
1674balked at the nature
1675of the company.
1676
1677364
167800:22:13,475 --> 00:22:14,707
1679They don't like newspapers?
1680
1681365
168200:22:14,709 --> 00:22:17,478
1683They like Gannett and
1684Knight and Ridder...
1685
1686366
168700:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,678
1688but frankly they're concerned
1689
1690367
169100:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,283
1692about your ability
1693to turn a serious profit.
1694
1695368
169600:22:34,963 --> 00:22:36,296
1697Gannett and Knight and Ridder
1698
1699369
170000:22:36,298 --> 00:22:38,197
1701own monopoly papers
1702in smaller markets.
1703
1704370
170500:22:38,199 --> 00:22:40,434
1706That's why
1707they're more profitable.
1708
1709371
171000:22:40,436 --> 00:22:43,671
1711The whole point of the
1712offering is to grow...
1713
1714372
171500:22:43,673 --> 00:22:45,839
1716while investing in the quality
1717of the paper.
1718
1719373
172000:22:45,841 --> 00:22:49,209
1721Kay and I have talked
1722a great deal about this...
1723
1724374
172500:22:49,211 --> 00:22:52,212
1726and we believe
1727that improving quality...
1728
1729375
173000:22:52,214 --> 00:22:55,851
1731will naturally lead to
1732greater profitability.
1733
1734376
173500:22:57,619 --> 00:22:58,851
1736Unfortunate.
1737
1738377
173900:22:58,853 --> 00:23:00,854
1740It's more than unfortunate.
1741
1742378
174300:23:00,856 --> 00:23:02,623
1744Doesn't this happen
1745all the time?
1746
1747379
174800:23:02,625 --> 00:23:05,893
1749Bankers lowering the price for
1750their institutional investors.
1751
1752380
175300:23:05,895 --> 00:23:07,560
1754Fritz, isn't this
1755what we discussed?
1756
1757381
175800:23:07,562 --> 00:23:08,728
1759I think the family
1760should consider
1761
1762382
176300:23:08,730 --> 00:23:09,896
1764giving up some control.
1765
1766383
176700:23:09,898 --> 00:23:12,098
1768- Maybe another board seat.
1769- Absolutely not.
1770
1771384
177200:23:12,100 --> 00:23:14,601
1773This isn't a surprise, Fritz.
1774Ever since Phil's accident...
1775
1776385
177700:23:14,603 --> 00:23:15,735
1778Arthur.
1779
1780386
178100:23:15,737 --> 00:23:18,203
1782No offense, Kay.
1783It's unfortunate...
1784
1785387
178600:23:18,205 --> 00:23:19,906
1787but the buyers
1788are obviously skittish
1789
1790388
179100:23:19,908 --> 00:23:21,340
1792about having
1793a woman in charge...
1794
1795389
179600:23:21,342 --> 00:23:23,543
1797and it's not like
1798it's an easy sell.
1799
1800390
180100:23:23,545 --> 00:23:26,680
1802It's a local paper with modest
1803margins, modest ambitions.
1804
1805391
180600:23:26,682 --> 00:23:28,115
1807I think Mr. Bradlee
1808would take issue
1809
1810392
181100:23:28,117 --> 00:23:29,383
1812with that characterization.
1813
1814393
181500:23:29,385 --> 00:23:31,350
1816Sure, she pads
1817his budget every year.
1818
1819394
182000:23:31,352 --> 00:23:33,119
1821Call my office.
1822Tell them I'm going to
1823
1824395
182500:23:33,121 --> 00:23:35,021
1826miss my lunch at Occidental.
1827
1828396
182900:23:35,023 --> 00:23:36,924
1830Another dozen reporters.
1831For what?
1832
1833397
183400:23:36,926 --> 00:23:38,692
1835To nip at the heels
1836of The Times?
1837
1838398
183900:23:38,694 --> 00:23:39,858
1840So we can pretend like
1841
1842399
184300:23:39,860 --> 00:23:41,861
1844we're even remotely
1845in the same league?
1846
1847400
184800:23:41,863 --> 00:23:44,231
1849Make it a five o'clock drink
1850at the Jefferson.
1851
1852401
185300:23:44,233 --> 00:23:46,332
1854Arthur, Kay was right.
1855Lazard is just trying...
1856
1857402
185800:23:46,334 --> 00:23:47,599
1859to cut a better deal
1860by squeezing us.
1861
1862403
186300:23:47,601 --> 00:23:48,768
1864Come on, Fritz.
1865
1866404
186700:23:48,770 --> 00:23:49,836
1868Why do you think that is?
1869
1870405
187100:23:49,838 --> 00:23:51,038
1872Because they're bankers.
1873
1874406
187500:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,606
1876Which is why
1877they want more control.
1878
1879407
188000:23:52,608 --> 00:23:53,740
1881They want assurances
1882
1883408
188400:23:53,742 --> 00:23:54,875
1885that she's not
1886gonna squander it all.
1887
1888409
188900:23:54,877 --> 00:23:56,643
1890I mean, come on.
1891
1892410
189300:23:56,645 --> 00:23:59,044
1894Fritz, Kay throws
1895a great party...
1896
1897411
189800:23:59,046 --> 00:24:01,882
1899but her father gave the paper
1900to her husband.
1901
1902412
190300:24:01,884 --> 00:24:03,617
1904The only reason
1905she's running things
1906
1907413
190800:24:03,619 --> 00:24:05,987
1909is because he...
1910Because Phil died.
1911
1912414
191300:24:07,189 --> 00:24:10,957
1914Don't get me wrong,
1915I think she is a lovely woman.
1916
1917415
191800:24:10,959 --> 00:24:12,826
1919But she got rid
1920of Al Friendly...
1921
1922416
192300:24:12,828 --> 00:24:14,293
1924and brought in a pirate
1925
1926417
192700:24:14,295 --> 00:24:16,963
1928who does nothing
1929but bleed our margins.
1930
1931418
193200:24:16,965 --> 00:24:18,632
1933I mean, you can't be surprised
1934
1935419
193600:24:18,634 --> 00:24:19,866
1937that the buyers
1938are concerned...
1939
1940420
194100:24:19,868 --> 00:24:21,100
1942that she doesn't have
1943the resolve
1944
1945421
194600:24:21,102 --> 00:24:23,071
1947to turn a serious profit.
1948
1949422
195000:24:28,476 --> 00:24:30,844
1951Kay, it's your decision...
1952
1953423
195400:24:30,846 --> 00:24:32,979
1955but in my opinion,
1956if you want this
1957
1958424
195900:24:32,981 --> 00:24:35,249
1960to be more than
1961a little family paper...
1962
1963425
196400:24:35,251 --> 00:24:38,521
1965it has to be more than
1966a little family business.
1967
1968426
196900:24:41,690 --> 00:24:44,427
1970Thank you, Arthur,
1971for your frankness.
1972
1973427
197400:24:45,660 --> 00:24:47,028
1975All right.
1976
1977428
197800:24:48,296 --> 00:24:49,396
1979We're set?
1980
1981429
198200:24:49,398 --> 00:24:51,367
1983All set, Mr. Parsons.
1984
1985430
198600:24:53,769 --> 00:24:55,304
1987Accident...
1988
1989431
199000:24:58,506 --> 00:25:00,243
1991It wasn't an accident.
1992
1993432
199400:25:01,342 --> 00:25:02,575
1995Phil's suicide.
1996
1997433
199800:25:02,577 --> 00:25:06,949
1999I don't know why people insist
2000on calling it an accident.
2001
2002434
200300:25:08,116 --> 00:25:10,653
2004Is it to make them
2005feel better?
2006
2007435
200800:25:11,754 --> 00:25:14,954
2009Or do they think
2010they're being kind?
2011
2012436
201300:25:14,956 --> 00:25:17,158
2014I don't know, I don't know.
2015
2016437
201700:25:17,859 --> 00:25:20,027
2018So, do you think I should
2019
2020438
202100:25:20,029 --> 00:25:22,662
2022give up more seats
2023on the board?
2024
2025439
202600:25:22,664 --> 00:25:24,532
2027Of course not.
2028
2029440
203000:25:25,966 --> 00:25:28,234
2031We're going to be fine.
2032
2033441
203400:25:28,236 --> 00:25:29,703
2035Hmm.
2036
2037442
203800:25:29,705 --> 00:25:32,606
2039This passage
2040in the prospectus,
2041
2042443
204300:25:32,608 --> 00:25:35,244
2044I read it earlier today.
2045
2046444
204700:25:38,914 --> 00:25:41,514
2048Oh, yes.
2049
2050445
205100:25:41,516 --> 00:25:43,716
2052"In the unlikely instance
2053of disaster
2054
2055446
205600:25:43,718 --> 00:25:45,050
2057"or catastrophic event...
2058
2059447
206000:25:45,052 --> 00:25:48,988
2061"in the week following the
2062initial public offering...
2063
2064448
206500:25:48,990 --> 00:25:50,924
2066"Lazard Frères
2067and Company retains
2068
2069449
207000:25:50,926 --> 00:25:52,925
2071"full right
2072to cancel the issue."
2073
2074450
207500:25:52,927 --> 00:25:54,461
2076It's boilerplate, Kay.
2077
2078451
207900:25:54,463 --> 00:25:56,896
2080It's standard
2081contractual language.
2082
2083452
208400:25:58,134 --> 00:26:02,301
2085But, so, the bankers
2086could pull out.
2087
2088453
208900:26:02,303 --> 00:26:05,104
2090Only if there's
2091a true disaster.
2092
2093454
209400:26:05,106 --> 00:26:07,241
2095Ben gets hit by a truck...
2096
2097455
209800:26:07,243 --> 00:26:11,277
2099the world
2100runs outta newspaper ink...
2101
2102456
210300:26:12,580 --> 00:26:14,181
2104the truck goes
2105around the block
2106
2107457
210800:26:14,183 --> 00:26:16,416
2109and hits Ben again...
2110
2111458
211200:26:16,418 --> 00:26:18,085
2113You think
2114one of those is possible.
2115
2116459
211700:26:18,087 --> 00:26:19,953
2118No, I don't...
2119
2120460
212100:26:19,955 --> 00:26:21,854
2122but, you know,
2123the Nixon White House
2124
2125461
212600:26:21,856 --> 00:26:23,790
2127is nothing if not vindictive.
2128
2129462
213000:26:23,792 --> 00:26:25,157
2131Just this morning...
2132
2133463
213400:26:25,159 --> 00:26:28,063
2135they barred us from covering
2136Tricia Nixon's wedding.
2137
2138464
213900:26:28,763 --> 00:26:30,563
2140Somehow,
2141I doubt that will rise
2142
2143465
214400:26:30,565 --> 00:26:32,031
2145to the level of catastrophe.
2146
2147466
214800:26:32,033 --> 00:26:33,599
2149I know. Probably not.
2150
2151467
215200:26:33,601 --> 00:26:37,171
2153Although, when Ben sets
2154his mind to plunder...
2155
2156468
215700:26:37,173 --> 00:26:40,743
2158it's not hard to imagine
2159something more serious.
2160
2161469
216200:26:42,244 --> 00:26:44,480
2163Catastrophic events...
2164
2165470
216600:26:45,781 --> 00:26:47,280
2167do occur, you know.
2168
2169471
217000:26:47,282 --> 00:26:51,350
2171Yeah, but the right to cancel
2172is only for a week.
2173
2174472
217500:26:51,352 --> 00:26:54,587
2176A week
2177from the public offering.
2178
2179473
218000:26:54,589 --> 00:26:58,491
2181Seven days after they
2182ring that bell on Tuesday...
2183
2184474
218500:26:58,493 --> 00:27:00,426
2186the deal is done.
2187
2188475
218900:27:00,428 --> 00:27:01,429
2190Hmm.
2191
2192476
219300:27:02,898 --> 00:27:05,134
2194It's gonna be fine, Kay.
2195
2196477
219700:27:23,718 --> 00:27:25,086
2198Jesus.
2199
2200478
220100:27:31,592 --> 00:27:33,763
2202Do you know what floor
2203the newsroom's on?
2204
2205479
220600:27:34,263 --> 00:27:35,395
2207Five.
2208
2209480
221000:27:35,397 --> 00:27:37,700
2211Uh, no, no, six, yeah. Six.
2212
2213481
221400:27:51,946 --> 00:27:53,946
2215Things are heating up
2216in East Pakistan?
2217
2218482
221900:27:53,948 --> 00:27:55,815
2220Well,
2221five million refugees
2222
2223483
222400:27:55,817 --> 00:27:57,951
2225could destabilize West Bengal.
2226
2227484
222800:27:57,953 --> 00:28:00,020
2229So, Lindsay's lowering
2230the boom tomorrow.
2231
2232485
223300:28:00,022 --> 00:28:01,654
2234They gotta cut 100 million.
2235
2236486
223700:28:01,656 --> 00:28:04,460
2238Gonna be some blood on
2239the floor of Gracie Mansion.
2240
2241487
224200:28:06,494 --> 00:28:08,761
2243I heard the Mayors gave it to
2244Nixon in Philly.
2245
2246488
224700:28:08,763 --> 00:28:10,664
2248Yeah, Tolchin's down there.
2249He's filing.
2250
2251489
225200:28:10,666 --> 00:28:12,132
2253Take a look at this.
2254
2255490
225600:28:12,134 --> 00:28:13,966
2257Any of you guys see that piece
2258on the hijacking?
2259
2260491
226100:28:13,968 --> 00:28:15,100
2262Jeez, there's been
2263another hijacking?
2264
2265492
226600:28:15,102 --> 00:28:16,603
2267You think six pages
2268is enough?
2269
2270493
227100:28:16,605 --> 00:28:19,905
2272Well, we got three columns on
2273the front page. I'll take it.
2274
2275494
227600:28:19,907 --> 00:28:22,075
2277- On the flight?
2278- On the flight.
2279
2280495
228100:28:22,077 --> 00:28:24,277
2282Can I help you, Mac?
2283
2284496
228500:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,578
2286Just delivering a package
2287to Mr. Meetson.
2288
2289497
229000:28:26,580 --> 00:28:29,084
2291Mattson.
2292I'll see that he gets it.
2293
2294498
229500:28:30,285 --> 00:28:31,818
2296I knew a couple
2297
2298499
229900:28:31,820 --> 00:28:35,254
2300whose yacht was shipwrecked
2301in the South Pacific.
2302
2303500
230400:28:35,256 --> 00:28:37,101
2305Hold on, quiet.
2306
2307501
230800:28:37,125 --> 00:28:38,392
2309I knew a couple whose yacht
2310
2311502
231200:28:38,394 --> 00:28:40,359
2313was shipwrecked
2314in the South Pacific.
2315
2316503
231700:28:40,361 --> 00:28:42,762
2318It looks bleak,
2319so the man asks...
2320
2321504
232200:28:42,764 --> 00:28:46,133
2323"Does the will take care
2324of the kids?" His wife nods.
2325
2326505
232700:28:46,135 --> 00:28:48,502
2328"What about your mother?"
2329"Yes."
2330
2331506
233200:28:48,504 --> 00:28:52,071
2333"Okay, did we
2334donate to Nixon?"
2335
2336507
233700:28:52,073 --> 00:28:54,874
2338His wife
2339shakes her head. "Yes."
2340
2341508
234200:28:54,876 --> 00:28:57,478
2343"Did we pledge or give?"
2344
2345509
234600:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,610
2347"We pledged."
2348
2349510
235000:28:58,612 --> 00:29:00,813
2351"Thank God," shouts the man.
2352"Nixon'll find us.
2353
2354511
235500:29:00,815 --> 00:29:01,915
2356"We're saved!"
2357
2358512
235900:29:05,987 --> 00:29:08,620
2360Well, speaking of Nixon,
2361I just talked to Kissinger...
2362
2363513
236400:29:08,622 --> 00:29:11,457
2365who was going on about the end
2366of the China embargo.
2367
2368514
236900:29:11,459 --> 00:29:14,194
2370He's convinced it's a rather
2371clever geopolitical move.
2372
2373515
237400:29:14,196 --> 00:29:17,297
2375I think
2376this is our cue, ladies.
2377
2378516
237900:29:17,299 --> 00:29:19,132
2380Someone at this table
2381of luminaries
2382
2383517
238400:29:19,134 --> 00:29:20,666
2385must have an idea
2386what they're up to.
2387
2388518
238900:29:20,668 --> 00:29:23,069
2390I wonder what his buddy
2391Joe McCarthy would say.
2392
2393519
239400:29:23,071 --> 00:29:25,571
2395The New Style Section
2396did a lovely piece
2397
2398520
239900:29:25,573 --> 00:29:27,007
2400on Lawrence Durrell.
2401
2402521
240300:29:27,009 --> 00:29:29,509
2404It's about time
2405Style had a good piece.
2406
2407522
240800:29:29,511 --> 00:29:31,144
2409I think it's a bit improved.
2410
2411523
241200:29:31,146 --> 00:29:33,546
2413I hear he's at work on
2414another series of novels.
2415
2416524
241700:29:33,548 --> 00:29:36,683
2418I hear he's at work on finding
2419a fourth wife.
2420
2421525
242200:29:36,685 --> 00:29:38,351
2423I will say, he's
2424one of the few individuals...
2425
2426526
242700:29:38,353 --> 00:29:40,253
2428who could probably cozy up
2429to communist China...
2430
2431527
243200:29:40,255 --> 00:29:42,121
2433without fear
2434of major political cost.
2435
2436528
243700:29:42,123 --> 00:29:43,388
2438Eh, but is Nixon that smart?
2439
2440529
244100:29:43,390 --> 00:29:44,991
2442He never laughed
2443at one of my jokes.
2444
2445530
244600:29:47,096 --> 00:29:49,195
2447Oh, Kay, I don't know
2448how you do it.
2449
2450531
245100:29:49,197 --> 00:29:50,963
2452I don't know
2453how you keep up with it all
2454
2455532
245600:29:50,965 --> 00:29:53,032
2457when you have this day job.
2458
2459533
246000:29:54,136 --> 00:29:55,801
2461You need to read more books.
2462
2463534
246400:29:55,803 --> 00:29:58,637
2465Kay, could I have just a word?
2466
2467535
246800:30:00,876 --> 00:30:01,911
2469Um...
2470
2471536
247200:30:03,311 --> 00:30:04,944
2473Everything all right?
2474
2475537
247600:30:04,946 --> 00:30:06,980
2477- Marg okay?
2478- Yes, she's fine.
2479
2480538
248100:30:06,982 --> 00:30:08,748
2482Said the procedure
2483went very well.
2484
2485539
248600:30:08,750 --> 00:30:10,584
2487Oh, good,
2488I've been meaning to...
2489
2490540
249100:30:10,586 --> 00:30:11,654
2492I...
2493
2494541
249500:30:12,219 --> 00:30:13,386
2496I wanted to tell you,
2497
2498542
249900:30:13,388 --> 00:30:15,288
2500and I want you
2501to hear from me first...
2502
2503543
250400:30:15,290 --> 00:30:17,290
2505there's an article about me
2506
2507544
250800:30:17,292 --> 00:30:19,928
2509coming out
2510in The Times tomorrow.
2511
2512545
251300:30:21,062 --> 00:30:22,797
2514It's not flattering.
2515
2516546
251700:30:24,099 --> 00:30:25,632
2518Running? Me?
2519
2520547
252100:30:25,634 --> 00:30:27,599
2522Now, you know me
2523better than that.
2524
2525548
252600:30:27,601 --> 00:30:29,469
2527Three days and three
2528nights and not a word.
2529
2530549
253100:30:29,471 --> 00:30:30,636
2532Well, I've been very busy.
2533
2534550
253500:30:30,638 --> 00:30:31,905
2536For all I knew
2537you were lying
2538
2539551
254000:30:31,907 --> 00:30:33,005
2541in the gutter somewhere...
2542
2543552
254400:30:33,007 --> 00:30:34,440
2545with a knife in your back.
2546
2547553
254800:30:34,442 --> 00:30:36,009
2549Lying in the gutter?
2550
2551554
255200:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,582
2553Now, look, sweetheart,
2554I'll tell you what happened.
2555
2556555
255700:30:40,381 --> 00:30:42,248
2558I was in Birmingham.
2559
2560556
256100:30:42,250 --> 00:30:43,616
2562Birmingham?
2563
2564557
256500:30:43,618 --> 00:30:44,783
2566Hello?
2567
2568558
256900:30:44,785 --> 00:30:46,386
2570Hello, Ben.
2571
2572559
257300:30:46,388 --> 00:30:47,686
2574Hello, Katharine.
2575
2576560
257700:30:47,688 --> 00:30:50,656
2578I'm sorry
2579to bother you so late.
2580
2581561
258200:30:50,658 --> 00:30:53,992
2583Listen, were you able to make
2584any headway with Mr. Sheehan?
2585
2586562
258700:30:53,994 --> 00:30:56,828
2588No, no. I haven't.
2589
2590563
259100:30:56,830 --> 00:31:01,033
2592I just had an odd conversation
2593with Bob McNamara...
2594
2595564
259600:31:01,035 --> 00:31:05,474
2597and I think The Times may
2598have a big story tomorrow.
2599
2600565
260100:31:06,107 --> 00:31:07,839
2602Oh, damn it.
2603
2604566
260500:31:07,841 --> 00:31:10,676
2606You know, he wouldn't
2607give me any details...
2608
2609567
261000:31:10,678 --> 00:31:15,984
2611but Bob said it was quite
2612detrimental to him and...
2613
2614568
261500:31:37,571 --> 00:31:39,338
2616Ben!
2617
2618569
261900:31:39,340 --> 00:31:41,008
2620We got 'em.
2621
2622570
262300:31:41,010 --> 00:31:42,608
2624We got 'em.
2625
2626571
262700:31:42,610 --> 00:31:43,643
2628Huh?
2629
2630572
263100:31:43,645 --> 00:31:45,311
2632- Yeah, quite good.
2633- The happy couple.
2634
2635573
263600:31:45,313 --> 00:31:47,280
2637- Hey, chief!
2638- Mr. Bradlee.
2639
2640574
264100:31:47,282 --> 00:31:49,448
2642So, did you
2643track down Sheehan?
2644
2645575
264600:31:49,450 --> 00:31:53,321
2647No, but, I saw a mock-up
2648of tomorrow's front page.
2649
2650576
265100:31:53,988 --> 00:31:55,955
2652There's a big gap.
2653
2654577
265500:31:55,957 --> 00:31:57,692
2656Nothing there but the name.
2657
2658578
265900:32:01,929 --> 00:32:03,229
2660Shit.
2661
2662579
266300:32:03,231 --> 00:32:04,600
2664Shit.
2665
2666580
266700:32:05,065 --> 00:32:06,434
2668Shit!
2669
2670581
267100:32:14,274 --> 00:32:16,275
2672- Give us three.
2673- Here you go.
2674
2675582
267600:32:16,277 --> 00:32:18,813
2677Here, here, here.
2678Thank you, thank you.
2679
2680583
268100:32:19,380 --> 00:32:20,849
2682Thanks, got it.
2683
2684584
268500:32:26,788 --> 00:32:28,521
2686General Haig, sir.
2687
2688585
268900:32:28,523 --> 00:32:29,822
2690- Hi, Al.
2691- Yes, sir.
2692
2693586
269400:32:29,824 --> 00:32:31,992
2695What about
2696the casualties last week?
2697
2698587
269900:32:31,994 --> 00:32:33,225
2700You got that figure yet?
2701
2702588
270300:32:33,227 --> 00:32:35,898
2704No, sir, but I think
2705it's gonna be quite low.
2706
2707589
270800:32:36,298 --> 00:32:37,530
2709Fine.
2710
2711590
271200:32:37,532 --> 00:32:40,399
2713Okay. Nothing else of interest
2714in the world today?
2715
2716591
271700:32:40,401 --> 00:32:42,903
2718Yes, sir.
2719Very significant...
2720
2721592
272200:32:42,905 --> 00:32:46,338
2723this goddamn
2724New York Times expose...
2725
2726593
272700:32:46,340 --> 00:32:48,139
2728...of the most
2729highly classified
2730
2731594
273200:32:48,141 --> 00:32:49,842
2733documents of the war.
2734
2735595
273600:32:49,844 --> 00:32:52,078
2737You mean that was
2738leaked out of the Pentagon?
2739
2740596
274100:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,415
2742The whole study that
2743was done for McNamara.
2744
2745597
274600:32:56,417 --> 00:33:00,654
2747This is a devastating, uh,
2748security breach...
2749
2750598
275100:33:00,656 --> 00:33:03,123
2752of the greatest magnitude
2753of anything I've ever seen.
2754
2755599
275600:33:03,125 --> 00:33:05,390
2757Well, what's being
2758done about it then?
2759
2760600
276100:33:05,392 --> 00:33:07,159
2762Did we know
2763this was coming out?
2764
2765601
276600:33:07,161 --> 00:33:08,761
2767No, we did not, sir.
2768
2769602
277000:33:08,763 --> 00:33:10,195
2771I have Doctor Kissinger.
2772
2773603
277400:33:10,197 --> 00:33:12,964
2775Henry, the thing to me
2776is just unconscionable.
2777
2778604
277900:33:12,966 --> 00:33:15,167
2780This is treasonable action
2781on the part
2782
2783605
278400:33:15,169 --> 00:33:17,436
2785of the bastards
2786that put it out.
2787
2788606
278900:33:17,438 --> 00:33:19,138
2790I'm absolutely certain...
2791
2792607
279300:33:19,140 --> 00:33:22,908
2794that this violates
2795all sorts of security laws.
2796
2797608
279800:33:22,910 --> 00:33:24,609
2799People have gotta
2800be put to the torch
2801
2802609
280300:33:24,611 --> 00:33:26,581
2804for this sort of thing.
2805
2806610
280700:33:27,881 --> 00:33:31,550
2808Christ! McNamara knew
2809we couldn't win in '65.
2810
2811611
281200:33:31,552 --> 00:33:34,455
2813That's six goddamn years ago.
2814
2815612
281600:33:37,292 --> 00:33:38,761
2817Well, at least
2818we got the wedding.
2819
2820613
282100:33:41,596 --> 00:33:43,529
2822Is anybody else tired
2823of reading the news
2824
2825614
282600:33:43,531 --> 00:33:45,932
2827instead of reporting it?
2828
2829615
283000:33:45,934 --> 00:33:47,099
2831Do we have any leads?
2832
2833616
283400:33:47,101 --> 00:33:48,533
2835There's a guy Phil and I know
2836in Boston...
2837
2838617
283900:33:48,535 --> 00:33:49,636
2840who worked at Defense
2841
2842618
284300:33:49,638 --> 00:33:50,971
2844when McNamara
2845commissioned the study.
2846
2847619
284800:33:50,973 --> 00:33:52,539
2849All right, call him.
2850
2851620
285200:33:52,541 --> 00:33:54,406
2853Anybody else?
2854
2855621
285600:33:54,408 --> 00:33:56,542
2857So that's it?
2858
2859622
286000:33:56,544 --> 00:33:59,511
2861Our best goddamn lead
2862is coming from editorial?
2863
2864623
286500:33:59,513 --> 00:34:01,313
2866Well, we are sucking hind tit
2867
2868624
286900:34:01,315 --> 00:34:02,581
2870in our own backyard.
2871
2872625
287300:34:02,583 --> 00:34:04,517
2874Ben, come on,
2875it's one story.
2876
2877626
287800:34:04,519 --> 00:34:06,452
2879No, it's 7,000 pages...
2880
2881627
288200:34:06,454 --> 00:34:08,553
2883detailing how
2884the White House has been
2885
2886628
288700:34:08,555 --> 00:34:10,657
2888lying about the Vietnam War
2889for 30 years.
2890
2891629
289200:34:10,659 --> 00:34:15,962
2893It's Truman and Eisenhower
2894and Jack and LBJ lying.
2895
2896630
289700:34:15,964 --> 00:34:18,264
2898Lying about Vietnam.
2899
2900631
290100:34:18,266 --> 00:34:20,168
2902And you think
2903that's one story?
2904
2905632
290600:34:21,335 --> 00:34:23,104
2907Let's do our jobs.
2908
2909633
291000:34:24,505 --> 00:34:26,040
2911Find those pages!
2912
2913634
291400:34:30,779 --> 00:34:32,378
2915Ben, uh...
2916
2917635
291800:34:32,380 --> 00:34:34,947
2919I might have something.
2920Maybe.
2921
2922636
292300:34:34,949 --> 00:34:37,983
2924Well, let me know when it's
2925a little less wishy-washy.
2926
2927637
292800:34:37,985 --> 00:34:41,190
2929I'm gonna go chase down
2930a lead of my own.
2931
2932638
293300:34:45,192 --> 00:34:48,228
2934Why don't you cut
2935your bangs, just a little bit?
2936
2937639
293800:34:48,230 --> 00:34:49,965
2939Mummy,
2940I'm right in the middle.
2941
2942640
294300:34:55,670 --> 00:34:58,438
2944It's a bit hard to read,
2945isn't it?
2946
2947641
294800:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,043
2949Harder for you, I imagine.
2950
2951642
295200:35:01,442 --> 00:35:02,743
2953No.
2954
2955643
295600:35:03,045 --> 00:35:04,246
2957Why?
2958
2959644
296000:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,579
2961These were your people...
2962
2963645
296400:35:06,581 --> 00:35:09,983
2965McNamara and Kennedy
2966and Johnson.
2967
2968646
296900:35:09,985 --> 00:35:12,552
2970Well, Jack and Lyndon
2971were your father's friends.
2972
2973647
297400:35:12,554 --> 00:35:13,987
2975You flew down to Texas
2976with Lyndon
2977
2978648
297900:35:13,989 --> 00:35:15,387
2980the weekend
2981after his convention.
2982
2983649
298400:35:15,389 --> 00:35:17,657
2985That's your fault. You wanted
2986to see his helicopter land.
2987
2988650
298900:35:17,659 --> 00:35:19,924
2990And the instant he saw you,
2991he invited you to the ranch.
2992
2993651
299400:35:19,926 --> 00:35:22,328
2995Oh, well, he just wanted
2996the paper to endorse.
2997
2998652
299900:35:22,330 --> 00:35:23,596
3000Yes, but my point is
3001
3002653
300300:35:23,598 --> 00:35:25,565
3004you had Steve and Bill
3005waiting at home.
3006
3007654
300800:35:25,567 --> 00:35:26,766
3009- You had houseguests...
3010- I know.
3011
3012655
301300:35:26,768 --> 00:35:28,099
3014...waiting at the farm.
3015
3016656
301700:35:28,101 --> 00:35:29,768
3018You had nothing but dirty
3019clothes in your suitcase.
3020
3021657
302200:35:29,770 --> 00:35:31,270
3023How do you know what
3024I had in my suitcase?
3025
3026658
302700:35:31,272 --> 00:35:32,371
3028Yet you jumped
3029on Air Force One,
3030
3031659
303200:35:32,373 --> 00:35:33,440
3033spent the weekend...
3034
3035660
303600:35:33,442 --> 00:35:34,507
3037I did not jump.
3038
3039661
304000:35:34,509 --> 00:35:35,775
3041...swimming
3042and speed-boating...
3043
3044662
304500:35:35,777 --> 00:35:37,342
3046You and Luvie Pearson
3047said I had to go!
3048
3049663
305000:35:37,344 --> 00:35:38,913
3051...with Lyndon
3052and Lady Bird.
3053
3054664
305500:35:44,085 --> 00:35:46,686
3056It's hard to say...
3057
3058665
305900:35:46,688 --> 00:35:49,556
3060"no" to the President
3061of the United States.
3062
3063666
306400:35:54,228 --> 00:35:56,228
3065Were you expecting someone?
3066
3067667
306800:35:56,230 --> 00:35:57,999
3069At this hour?
3070
3071668
307200:36:03,270 --> 00:36:05,337
3073I hope I'm not too early.
3074
3075669
307600:36:05,339 --> 00:36:07,907
3077Not at all.
3078Must be urgent.
3079
3080670
308100:36:07,909 --> 00:36:09,708
3082Where's your sister?
3083
3084671
308500:36:11,980 --> 00:36:14,012
3086That's my tea, darling.
3087
3088672
308900:36:14,014 --> 00:36:16,983
3090Where's your sister?
3091Let's go find her.
3092
3093673
309400:36:16,985 --> 00:36:18,754
3095Let's go find her.
3096
3097674
309800:36:21,089 --> 00:36:23,659
3099I trust you saw
3100The New York Times.
3101
3102675
310300:36:24,125 --> 00:36:25,157
3104Hmm.
3105
3106676
310700:36:25,159 --> 00:36:27,492
3108The study, the one
3109they are working off of...
3110
3111677
311200:36:27,494 --> 00:36:29,027
3113that was commissioned
3114by Robert McNamara.
3115
3116678
311700:36:29,029 --> 00:36:30,096
3118Yeah.
3119
3120679
312100:36:30,098 --> 00:36:32,498
3122And if he commissioned it,
3123he might have a copy.
3124
3125680
312600:36:37,804 --> 00:36:40,540
3127I don't need to tell you
3128that finding a source...
3129
3130681
313100:36:40,542 --> 00:36:42,442
3132it's like finding a
3133needle in a haystack.
3134
3135682
313600:36:42,444 --> 00:36:43,641
3137I don't need the metaphor.
3138
3139683
314000:36:43,643 --> 00:36:44,710
3141Well, I haven't been a writer
3142
3143684
314400:36:44,712 --> 00:36:46,045
3145for a while
3146so that old cliche...
3147
3148685
314900:36:46,047 --> 00:36:48,215
3150that was the best comparison
3151I could come up with.
3152
3153686
315400:36:49,583 --> 00:36:52,286
3155I need a copy
3156of that study, Kay.
3157
3158687
315900:36:53,822 --> 00:36:55,520
3160Give her the ball, Ben.
3161
3162688
316300:36:55,522 --> 00:36:57,058
3164- Here you go.
3165- Thank you.
3166
3167689
316800:36:59,426 --> 00:37:02,128
3169You know, Ben,
3170as much as I do relish
3171
3172690
317300:37:02,130 --> 00:37:03,932
3174a good investigative
3175assignment...
3176
3177691
317800:37:05,366 --> 00:37:08,067
3179Bob McNamara is an old friend.
3180
3181692
318200:37:08,069 --> 00:37:10,369
3183He's going through a lot
3184in his life right now.
3185
3186693
318700:37:10,371 --> 00:37:13,706
3188I just think he's probably
3189said all he wants to say.
3190
3191694
319200:37:13,708 --> 00:37:16,009
3193Why do you think?
3194
3195695
319600:37:16,011 --> 00:37:17,308
3197- Why?
3198- Why?
3199
3200696
320100:37:17,310 --> 00:37:18,777
3202Why is he talking to you?
3203
3204697
320500:37:18,779 --> 00:37:21,146
3206Well, I just told you,
3207he's my friend and...
3208
3209698
321000:37:21,148 --> 00:37:23,951
3211Is he talking to
3212any other friends?
3213
3214699
321500:37:25,487 --> 00:37:26,851
3216I'm not sure
3217
3218700
321900:37:26,853 --> 00:37:28,954
3220I appreciate the implication
3221of what you just said.
3222
3223701
322400:37:28,956 --> 00:37:31,257
3225McNamara is talking
3226to you...
3227
3228702
322900:37:31,259 --> 00:37:33,592
3230because you are the publisher
3231of The Washington Post.
3232
3233703
323400:37:33,594 --> 00:37:35,427
3235That's not true.
3236No, that is not why.
3237
3238704
323900:37:35,429 --> 00:37:37,329
3240Because he wants you
3241to bail him out.
3242
3243705
324400:37:37,331 --> 00:37:38,431
3245Because he wants you
3246on his side.
3247
3248706
324900:37:38,433 --> 00:37:39,697
3250No, there's no ulterior...
3251No!
3252
3253707
325400:37:39,699 --> 00:37:42,201
3255Ben, that's not my role.
3256You know that.
3257
3258708
325900:37:42,203 --> 00:37:45,337
3260I wouldn't presume to tell you
3261how to write about him.
3262
3263709
326400:37:45,339 --> 00:37:49,041
3265Just as I wouldn't
3266take it upon myself...
3267
3268710
326900:37:49,043 --> 00:37:53,012
3270to tell him he should hand
3271over a classified study...
3272
3273711
327400:37:53,014 --> 00:37:55,648
3275which would be a crime,
3276by the way...
3277
3278712
327900:37:55,650 --> 00:37:58,754
3280just so he can serve
3281as your source.
3282
3283713
328400:37:59,554 --> 00:38:02,057
3285Our source, Katharine.
3286
3287714
328800:38:13,735 --> 00:38:15,168
3289No. Uh... No...
3290
3291715
329200:38:15,170 --> 00:38:19,137
3293I'm not. I'm not going to ask
3294Bob for the study.
3295
3296716
329700:38:19,139 --> 00:38:20,139
3298All right.
3299
3300717
330100:38:20,141 --> 00:38:21,739
3302I get it.
3303You have a relationship
3304
3305718
330600:38:21,741 --> 00:38:23,942
3307with Bob McNamara.
3308
3309719
331000:38:23,944 --> 00:38:27,045
3311But don't you think you have
3312an obligation as well
3313
3314720
331500:38:27,047 --> 00:38:28,947
3316to the paper
3317and to the public?
3318
3319721
332000:38:28,949 --> 00:38:30,650
3321Let me ask you something.
3322
3323722
332400:38:30,652 --> 00:38:32,585
3325Was that how you felt
3326when you were
3327
3328723
332900:38:32,587 --> 00:38:34,552
3330palling around
3331with Jack Kennedy?
3332
3333724
333400:38:34,554 --> 00:38:36,554
3335Where was
3336your sense of duty then?
3337
3338725
333900:38:36,556 --> 00:38:40,659
3340I don't recall you pushing him
3341particularly hard on anything.
3342
3343726
334400:38:40,661 --> 00:38:43,496
3345I pushed Jack when I had to.
3346
3347727
334800:38:43,498 --> 00:38:45,264
3349I never pulled any punches.
3350
3351728
335200:38:45,266 --> 00:38:46,431
3353Is that right?
3354
3355729
335600:38:46,433 --> 00:38:49,601
3357'Cause you used to dine at
3358the White House once a week.
3359
3360730
336100:38:49,603 --> 00:38:51,871
3362All the trips to Camp David.
3363
3364731
336500:38:51,873 --> 00:38:53,840
3366Oh, and that drunken
3367birthday cruise
3368
3369732
337000:38:53,842 --> 00:38:56,177
3371on the Sequoia
3372you told me about.
3373
3374733
337500:38:57,811 --> 00:38:59,043
3376Hard to believe you would have
3377
3378734
337900:38:59,045 --> 00:39:00,980
3380gotten
3381all those invitations...
3382
3383735
338400:39:00,982 --> 00:39:04,085
3385if you didn't
3386pull a few punches.
3387
3388736
338900:39:09,056 --> 00:39:10,623
3390Street protests
3391broke out today
3392
3393737
339400:39:10,625 --> 00:39:11,857
3395across the country...
3396
3397738
339800:39:11,859 --> 00:39:13,458
3399after the publication
3400of more excerpts...
3401
3402739
340300:39:13,460 --> 00:39:15,694
3404from a classified
3405Department of Defense study
3406
3407740
340800:39:15,696 --> 00:39:17,395
3409in The New York Times.
3410
3411741
341200:39:17,397 --> 00:39:18,398
3413The study, commissioned
3414
3415742
341600:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,965
3417by former Secretary of Defense
3418Robert McNamara...
3419
3420743
342100:39:20,967 --> 00:39:22,335
3422has ignited further debate
3423
3424744
342500:39:22,337 --> 00:39:24,436
3426over the ongoing war
3427in Vietnam...
3428
3429745
343000:39:24,438 --> 00:39:27,005
3431as it makes clear
3432that Kennedy and Johnson...
3433
3434746
343500:39:27,007 --> 00:39:29,041
3436as well as
3437Eisenhower and Truman,
3438
3439747
344000:39:29,043 --> 00:39:31,911
3441deeply misled
3442the country on Vietnam.
3443
3444748
344500:39:31,913 --> 00:39:33,779
3446The bombshell series
3447has appeared
3448
3449749
345000:39:33,781 --> 00:39:36,148
3451for the last two days
3452in The New York Times.
3453
3454750
345500:39:36,150 --> 00:39:38,550
3456We don't want
3457your stinking war.
3458
3459751
346000:39:38,552 --> 00:39:40,152
3461One, two, three, four.
3462
3463752
346400:39:40,154 --> 00:39:42,491
3465We don't want
3466your stinking war.
3467
3468753
346900:39:44,292 --> 00:39:45,791
3470♪ I've walked and I've crawled
3471on six crooked highways ♪
3472
3473754
347400:39:45,793 --> 00:39:49,128

3476but for what is right.
3477
3478755
347900:39:49,130 --> 00:39:50,061
3480Right!
3481
3482756
348300:39:50,063 --> 00:39:52,697
3484Like my brother Mario said...
3485
3486757
348700:39:52,699 --> 00:39:54,967
3488"There is a time
3489when the operation

349200:39:54,969 --> 00:39:57,103
3493"of the machine

3495
3496759
349700:39:57,105 --> 00:40:00,005
3498"that you've got to put
3499your body upon the gears...
3500
3501760
350200:40:00,007 --> 00:40:02,674
3503"and upon the wheels,
3504and upon the levers...
3505
3506761
350700:40:02,676 --> 00:40:04,911
3508"and you've got to
3509make it stop."
3510
3511762
351200:40:04,913 --> 00:40:06,244
3513One, two, three four.
3514
3515763
351600:40:06,246 --> 00:40:08,547
3517We don't want
3518your stinking war.
3519
3520764
352100:40:08,549 --> 00:40:11,049
3522Someone gives up his life,
3523
3524765
352500:40:11,051 --> 00:40:12,784
3526so that the President...
3527
3528766
352900:40:12,786 --> 00:40:14,654
3530doesn't have
3531to admit something
3532
3533767
353400:40:14,656 --> 00:40:16,221
3535the entire world
3536already knows.
3537
3538768
353900:40:16,223 --> 00:40:17,855
3540Your dinner
3541with Mr. and Mrs. Rosenthal

3550tomorrow morning

3558so you'll have plenty of time
3559
3560773

3562to get downtown
3563before the offering.
3564
3565774
356600:40:23,598 --> 00:40:24,963
3567And the breakfast.
3568
3569775
357000:40:24,965 --> 00:40:27,366
3571"All designed to meet
3572these five desiderata."
3573
3574776
357500:40:29,737 --> 00:40:30,837
3576Bagdikian.
3577
3578777
357900:40:30,839 --> 00:40:32,337
3580It's Harry Rowen.
3581
3582778
358300:40:32,339 --> 00:40:36,343
3584Hey, uh, let me call you back
3585from outside the newsroom.
3586
3587779
358800:40:58,965 --> 00:41:03,101
3589Excuse me,
3590are you important?
3591
3592780
359300:41:03,103 --> 00:41:05,404
3594I'm a general
3595assignment reporter.
3596
3597781
359800:41:05,406 --> 00:41:06,907
3599Okay.
3600
3601782
360200:41:38,973 --> 00:41:40,973
3603Uh, I think I got something.
3604
3605783
360600:41:40,975 --> 00:41:42,442
3607Be my guest.
3608
3609784
361000:41:42,444 --> 00:41:43,976
3611Can we lose The New York
3612Times from the nut graph?
3613
3614785
361500:41:43,978 --> 00:41:45,344
3616Ben, they are
3617the source of the story.
3618
3619786
362000:41:45,346 --> 00:41:47,413
3621Every time I read The New York
3622Times above the fold...
3623
3624787
362500:41:47,415 --> 00:41:48,547
3626- Mr. Bradlee?
3627- No.
3628
3629788
363000:41:48,549 --> 00:41:50,449
3631I feel like somebody's shoving
3632a hot poker up my ass.
3633
3634789
363500:41:50,451 --> 00:41:51,750
3636All right, just say The Times,
3637
3638790
363900:41:51,752 --> 00:41:52,951
3640and drop it
3641a graph below the fold.
3642
3643791
364400:41:52,953 --> 00:41:54,020
3645There you go.
3646
3647792
364800:41:54,022 --> 00:41:55,322
3649That would
3650be less painful.
3651
3652793
365300:41:55,989 --> 00:41:57,389
3654I think I got something.
3655
3656794
365700:41:57,391 --> 00:41:59,291
3658"McNaughton had McNamara
3659plan for action."
3660
3661795
366200:41:59,293 --> 00:42:01,793
3663Well, that's two months
3664before the election.
3665
3666796
366700:42:01,795 --> 00:42:03,295
3668"Suggested
3669sending large numbers
3670
3671797
367200:42:03,297 --> 00:42:04,929
3673"of U.S. forces to interlard."
3674
3675798
367600:42:04,931 --> 00:42:06,065
3677"Interlard"?
3678
3679799
368000:42:06,067 --> 00:42:07,132
3681Where'd you get these?
3682
3683800
368400:42:07,134 --> 00:42:08,433
3685Somebody left them on my desk.
3686
3687801
368800:42:08,435 --> 00:42:09,902
3689All these guys
3690sound like they sleep
3691
3692802
369300:42:09,904 --> 00:42:11,406
3694with a damn thesaurus.
3695
3696803
369700:42:12,505 --> 00:42:15,574
3698So McNaughton was secretly
3699suggesting to McNamara...
3700
3701804
370200:42:15,576 --> 00:42:16,608
3703to provoke the North so we'd
3704
3705805
370600:42:16,610 --> 00:42:17,877
3707- have grounds for escalation?
3708- Yep.
3709
3710806
371100:42:17,879 --> 00:42:19,512
3712Yeah, it was
3713in The Times article.
3714
3715807
371600:42:19,514 --> 00:42:21,279
3717It was a good piece.
3718You should check it out.
3719
3720808
372100:42:21,281 --> 00:42:22,648
3722- It was well-written.
3723- Jesus Christ.
3724
3725809
372600:42:22,650 --> 00:42:25,016
3727Give it to someone who can't
3728type 91 words a minute...
3729
3730810
373100:42:25,018 --> 00:42:26,819
3732and have it proofed, okay?
3733
3734811
373500:42:26,821 --> 00:42:28,119
3736- Ben?
3737- Yeah?
3738
3739812
374000:42:28,121 --> 00:42:29,855
3741I think we got something.
3742
3743813
374400:42:29,857 --> 00:42:31,293
3745What is it?
3746
3747814
374800:42:39,366 --> 00:42:40,668
3749Jesus Christ.
3750
3751815
375200:42:41,536 --> 00:42:42,934
3753Shit. Are these

3755816
375600:42:42,936 --> 00:42:44,536

3758of the McNamara study?
3759
3760817
376100:42:44,538 --> 00:42:45,704
3762Where did you get these?
3763
3764818
376500:42:45,706 --> 00:42:47,440
3766Somebody left them on my desk.
3767
3768819
376900:42:47,442 --> 00:42:48,474
3770On your desk?
3771
3772820
377300:42:48,476 --> 00:42:50,909
3774- I didn't... It was a woman.
3775- A woman?
3776
3777821
377800:42:50,911 --> 00:42:53,645
3779We got over 100 pages
3780of the McNamara study here.
3781
3782822
378300:42:53,647 --> 00:42:55,648
3784A hippie woman.
3785
3786823
378700:42:55,650 --> 00:42:57,181
3788Hey, Debbie,

3794
3795825
379600:42:58,284 --> 00:43:00,253
3797He's out.
3798He went somewhere.
3799
3800826
380100:43:00,255 --> 00:43:01,119
3802Fine.
3803

3808
3809828
381000:43:02,522 --> 00:43:06,791
3811If these are the real thing,
3812we are back in the ballgame.
3813
3814829
381500:43:06,793 --> 00:43:08,226
3816It was a tie-dye skirt.
3817
3818830
381900:43:08,228 --> 00:43:11,395
3820And this is gonna be the front
3821page of tomorrow's paper.
3822

385400:43:39,426 --> 00:43:43,061
3855I think someone
3856might be bugging yours.
3857
3858839
385900:43:43,063 --> 00:43:45,663
3860Why would someone
3861bug my phone?
3862
3863840
386400:43:45,665 --> 00:43:47,032
3865If I thought
3866the McNamara study
3867
3868841
386900:43:47,034 --> 00:43:48,266
3870had leaked from RAND...
3871
3872842
387300:43:48,268 --> 00:43:51,570
3874I'd bug the phone of the
3875president of RAND.
3876
3877843
387800:43:51,572 --> 00:43:53,271
3879It's a DoD study.
3880
3881844
388200:43:53,273 --> 00:43:55,808
3883A copy of which was sent to
3884RAND for safekeeping.
3885
3886845
388700:43:55,810 --> 00:43:59,478
3888Two copies,
3889if I'm not mistaken.
3890
3891846
389200:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,514
3893Jesus Christ, Ben, that leak
3894didn't come from us.
3895
3896847
389700:44:02,516 --> 00:44:04,152
3898You sure about that?
3899
3900848
390100:44:04,752 --> 00:44:06,252
3902Look, in my experience...
3903
3904849
390500:44:06,254 --> 00:44:08,020
3906guys who
3907want stuff like this out there
3908
3909850
391000:44:08,022 --> 00:44:09,221
3911and have the guts to do it...
3912
3913851
391400:44:09,223 --> 00:44:10,521
3915they're a particular type.
3916
3917852
391800:44:10,523 --> 00:44:12,123
3919They've got conscience
3920and conviction...
3921
3922853
392300:44:12,125 --> 00:44:14,393
3924but they've also got ego.
3925
3926854
392700:44:14,395 --> 00:44:16,929
3928Now, there's a guy that
3929we both know, okay?
3930
3931855
393200:44:16,931 --> 00:44:18,764
3933He was there
3934the same time as I was.
3935
3936856
393700:44:18,766 --> 00:44:20,199
3938He left right after.
3939
3940857
394100:44:20,201 --> 00:44:22,134
3942You know
3943who I'm talking about, right?
3944
3945858
394600:44:22,136 --> 00:44:23,536
3947Isn't he the first guy
3948you thought of
3949
3950859
395100:44:23,538 --> 00:44:26,206
3952when you saw
3953the article in The Times?
3954
3955860
395600:44:28,576 --> 00:44:31,476
3957Okay, look, I gotta go.
3958
3959861
396000:44:38,851 --> 00:44:40,219
3961Mr. and Mrs. Rosenthal.
3962
3963862
396400:44:40,221 --> 00:44:42,290
3965- Oh, yes, I see.
3966- You're welcome.
3967
3968863
396900:44:44,058 --> 00:44:45,190
3970I don't wanna push it.
3971
3972864
397300:44:45,192 --> 00:44:46,826
3974- Hi.
3975- Ah, Kay.
3976
3977865
397800:44:46,828 --> 00:44:47,992
3979What a treat!
3980
3981866
398200:44:47,994 --> 00:44:49,762
3983I'm just going to
3984apologize in advance.
3985
3986867
398700:44:49,764 --> 00:44:51,130
3988Great to see you.
3989
3990868
399100:44:51,132 --> 00:44:54,833
3992I'm no fun at all, Abe.
3993I'm just so nervous...
3994
3995869
399600:44:54,835 --> 00:44:56,335
3997about tomorrow
3998at the stock exchange.
3999
4000870
400100:44:56,337 --> 00:44:57,936
4002And I have to make
4003a big speech.
4004
4005871
400600:44:57,938 --> 00:44:59,538
4007- No, no, no, no.
4008- Poor you.
4009
4010872
401100:44:59,540 --> 00:45:02,007
4012No, going public is
4013a good move for The Post.
4014
4015873
401600:45:02,009 --> 00:45:04,108
4017Maybe you can even think
4018about expanding.
4019
4020874
402100:45:04,110 --> 00:45:06,411
4022Try to be more
4023of a national paper.
4024
4025875
402600:45:06,413 --> 00:45:08,213
4027I wish Abe would
4028let me buy shares.
4029
4030876
403100:45:08,215 --> 00:45:10,148
4032That's against
4033company policy...
4034
4035877
403600:45:10,150 --> 00:45:12,684
4037but if you're nervous
4038and need distraction...
4039
4040878
404100:45:12,686 --> 00:45:15,822
4042I do happen to have a copy
4043of today's Times.
4044
4045879
404600:45:15,824 --> 00:45:16,825
4047Abe!
4048
4049880
405000:45:17,824 --> 00:45:19,424
4051Unless you read it already.
4052
4053881
405400:45:19,426 --> 00:45:22,895
4055Oh, you awful man.
4056You really are.
4057
4058882
405900:45:22,897 --> 00:45:24,329
4060Can we get you
4061something to drink?
4062
4063883
406400:45:24,331 --> 00:45:26,599
4065Bundy argues
4066for sustained bombing.
4067
4068884
406900:45:26,601 --> 00:45:27,565
4070Great stuff.
4071
4072885
407300:45:27,567 --> 00:45:28,833
4074He thinks
4075it'll turn the tide.
4076
4077886
407800:45:28,835 --> 00:45:30,034
4079This is February of '65.
4080
4081887
408200:45:30,036 --> 00:45:31,404
4083Jesus Christ.
4084
4085888
408600:45:31,406 --> 00:45:33,739
4087But by April, they realize
4088it's not gonna cut it...
4089
4090889
409100:45:33,741 --> 00:45:35,507
4092and LBJ sends two battalions.
4093
4094890
409500:45:35,509 --> 00:45:36,875
4096- Great stuff.
4097- And get this.
4098
4099891
410000:45:36,877 --> 00:45:38,311
4101He changes the mission
4102
4103892
410400:45:38,313 --> 00:45:40,411
4105from base security
4106to active combat.
4107
4108893
410900:45:40,413 --> 00:45:42,348
4110- My God.
4111- It's a huge shift.
4112
4113894
411400:45:42,350 --> 00:45:43,882
4115He's widening the war.
4116
4117895
411800:45:43,884 --> 00:45:45,550
4119But he insists on secrecy.
4120
4121896
412200:45:45,552 --> 00:45:47,186
4123The American people are
4124not to be told.
4125
4126897
412700:45:47,188 --> 00:45:48,654
4128All right, okay.
4129So this is the real deal...
4130
4131898
413200:45:48,656 --> 00:45:50,456
4133so how long
4134till you can write it up?
4135
4136899
413700:45:50,458 --> 00:45:52,123
4138I can have it for Thursday.
4139
4140900
414100:45:52,125 --> 00:45:53,259
4142Well, what if we pretend
4143
4144901
414500:45:53,261 --> 00:45:55,460
4146you're a reporter,
4147not a novelist?
4148
4149902
415000:45:55,462 --> 00:45:56,962
4151Uh, I suppose I could pull
4152
4153903
415400:45:56,964 --> 00:45:58,396
4155something together
4156by tomorrow night.
4157
4158904
415900:45:58,398 --> 00:46:00,400
4160Okay, we can
4161run it on Wednesday.
4162
4163905
416400:46:01,569 --> 00:46:03,335
4165I know
4166we need to get this out, Ben,
4167
4168906
416900:46:03,337 --> 00:46:04,770
4170but I'd like to
4171spend a minute...
4172
4173907
417400:46:04,772 --> 00:46:07,172
4175going through what we've got
4176on Rolling Thunder.
4177
4178908
417900:46:07,174 --> 00:46:08,741
4180Go through
4181all the research you want...
4182
4183909
418400:46:08,743 --> 00:46:10,509
4185but so help me God,
4186if we don't have
4187
4188910
418900:46:10,511 --> 00:46:12,143
4190these pages
4191by tomorrow night...
4192
4193911
419400:46:12,145 --> 00:46:13,445
4195we might as well
4196not have them at all.
4197
4198912
419900:46:13,447 --> 00:46:14,516
4200Too late.
4201
4202913
420300:46:15,715 --> 00:46:16,782
4204What?
4205
4206914
420700:46:16,784 --> 00:46:18,186
4208Times already has it.
4209
4210915
421100:46:22,121 --> 00:46:23,454
4212Well, of course they have it.
4213
4214916
421500:46:23,456 --> 00:46:25,724
4216"President Johnson
4217decided on April 1, 1965..."
4218
4219917
422000:46:25,726 --> 00:46:28,460
4221Of course The Times had...
4222Written by Neil Sheehan.
4223
4224918
422500:46:28,462 --> 00:46:31,096
4226"...because
4227a month of bombing..."
4228
4229919
423000:46:31,098 --> 00:46:32,498
4231Neil Sheehan's a bastard.
4232
4233920
423400:46:32,500 --> 00:46:33,965
4235He's been a bastard for years.
4236
4237921
423800:46:33,967 --> 00:46:35,833
4239Mr. President,
4240the Attorney General
4241
4242922
424300:46:35,835 --> 00:46:37,235
4244has called a couple times...
4245
4246923
424700:46:37,237 --> 00:46:40,172
4248about these
4249New York Times stories.
4250
4251924
425200:46:40,174 --> 00:46:41,907
4253You mean to
4254prosecute The Times?
4255
4256925
425700:46:41,909 --> 00:46:43,342
4258Hell, my view is
4259
4260926
426100:46:43,344 --> 00:46:45,244
4262to prosecute the goddamn
4263pricks that gave it to 'em.
4264
4265927
426600:46:45,246 --> 00:46:46,344
4267If you can
4268find out who that is.
4269
4270928
427100:46:46,346 --> 00:46:47,478
4272Yeah, I know.
4273
4274929
427500:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,313
4276I mean, could The Times
4277be prosecuted?
4278
4279930
428000:46:49,315 --> 00:46:51,382
4281Apparently so.
4282
4283931
428400:46:51,384 --> 00:46:52,550
4285As far as
4286The Times is concerned,
4287
4288932
428900:46:52,552 --> 00:46:53,886
4290hell, they're our enemies.
4291
4292933
429300:46:53,888 --> 00:46:56,654
4294I think we just oughta do it.
4295
4296934
429700:46:56,656 --> 00:46:58,592
4298Son of a bitch.
4299
4300935
430100:47:01,763 --> 00:47:02,929
4302Abe Rosenthal.
4303
4304936
430500:47:02,931 --> 00:47:05,699
4306Good evening. Their table
4307is right over there, sir.
4308
4309937
431000:47:07,268 --> 00:47:09,268
4311Brownell and Loeb over
4312at Lord Day and Lord...
4313
4314938
431500:47:09,270 --> 00:47:12,637
4316told Punch in no uncertain
4317terms not to publish.
4318
4319939
432000:47:12,639 --> 00:47:14,806
4321Only after Scotty Reston
4322threatened
4323
4324940
432500:47:14,808 --> 00:47:16,407
4326to publish
4327in the Vineyard Gazette...
4328
4329941
433000:47:16,409 --> 00:47:18,043
4331did Punch decide to print.
4332
4333942
433400:47:18,045 --> 00:47:20,579
4335Wouldn't have had
4336quite the same impact.
4337
4338943
433900:47:21,681 --> 00:47:22,683
4340Jimmy.
4341
4342944
434300:47:24,551 --> 00:47:28,721
4344We've been asked to refrain
4345from further publication...
4346
4347945
434800:47:28,723 --> 00:47:30,858
4349by the Attorney General.
4350
4351946
435200:47:32,259 --> 00:47:34,762
4353Nixon's taking us to court?
4354
4355947
435600:47:40,835 --> 00:47:42,534
4357Kay, I'm sorry...
4358
4359948
436000:47:42,536 --> 00:47:43,804
4361Oh, no.
4362
4363949
436400:47:47,540 --> 00:47:48,676
4365Gosh.
4366
4367950
436800:47:53,413 --> 00:47:55,279
4369Why don't I go get the check?
4370
4371951
437200:47:55,281 --> 00:47:56,782
4373No, sit tight,
4374don't argue with me.
4375
4376952
437700:47:56,784 --> 00:47:58,720
4378I'll be right back.
4379
4380953
438100:48:03,891 --> 00:48:06,358
4382Mr. Rosenthal
4383had to leave on business.
4384
4385954
438600:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,259
4387Certainly,
4388we'll put it on his tab.
4389
4390955
439100:48:08,261 --> 00:48:09,494
4392No, I'll take the bill,
4393
4394956
439500:48:09,496 --> 00:48:12,230
4396but could I trouble you
4397to use your telephone?
4398
4399957
440000:48:12,232 --> 00:48:13,667
4401But of course, madam.
4402
4403958
440400:48:21,375 --> 00:48:23,476
4405There's a fella I overlapped
4406with at RAND.
4407
4408959
440900:48:23,478 --> 00:48:25,576
4410He was a bit of
4411a showboat, but smart.
4412
4413960
441400:48:25,578 --> 00:48:27,279
4415And he worked for McNamara...
4416
4417961
441800:48:27,281 --> 00:48:28,512
4419and he had opinions
4420
4421962
442200:48:28,514 --> 00:48:31,616
4423on the decision-making
4424that went into Vietnam.
4425
4426963
442700:48:31,618 --> 00:48:32,516
4428Okay.
4429
4430964
443100:48:32,518 --> 00:48:35,454
4432Word is, he doved.
4433Pretty hard.
4434
4435965
443600:48:35,456 --> 00:48:37,523
4437Would he have access
4438to the study?
4439
4440966
444100:48:37,525 --> 00:48:39,625
4442Pretty sure RAND had a copy.
4443
4444967
444500:48:39,627 --> 00:48:42,828
4446No shit. All right,
4447well, can you find him?
4448
4449968
445000:48:42,830 --> 00:48:44,996
4451Thought maybe I'd try.
4452
4453969
445400:48:48,301 --> 00:48:50,704
4455I've got
4456Mrs. Graham on the line.
4457
4458970
445900:48:51,906 --> 00:48:53,639
4460Katharine.
4461
4462971
446300:48:53,641 --> 00:48:57,409
4464Hey, listen,
4465I've got tomorrow's headline.
4466
4467972
446800:48:57,411 --> 00:49:00,478
4469Oh, Christ, okay, again?
4470
4471973
447200:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,614
4473John Mitchell contacted
4474The Times.
4475
4476974
447700:49:02,616 --> 00:49:05,753
4478Seems the President is going
4479to seek an injunction.
4480
4481975
448200:49:06,319 --> 00:49:08,286
4483No, shit.
4484
4485976
448600:49:08,288 --> 00:49:10,554
4487This means that we're in
4488the goddamn ballgame.
4489
4490977
449100:49:10,556 --> 00:49:12,791
4492Because if The Times
4493gets shut down...
4494
4495978
449600:49:12,793 --> 00:49:13,893
4497If they get shut down,
4498
4499979
450000:49:13,895 --> 00:49:16,762
4501there is no ballgame.
4502Ballgame's over.
4503
4504980
450500:49:16,764 --> 00:49:17,795
4506Now, Katharine,
4507
4508981
450900:49:17,797 --> 00:49:20,433
4510anybody would kill
4511to have a crack at this.
4512
4513982
451400:49:20,435 --> 00:49:23,235
4515Well, sure, but not if it
4516means breaking the law.
4517
4518983
451900:49:23,237 --> 00:49:27,405
4520If a federal judge stops
4521The Times from publishing...
4522
4523984
452400:49:27,407 --> 00:49:29,875
4525well, I don't see how
4526we could publish...
4527
4528985
452900:49:29,877 --> 00:49:32,612
4530even if we could
4531get hold of a copy.
4532
4533986
453400:49:35,348 --> 00:49:38,518
4535Ben?
4536You have something?
4537
4538987
453900:49:39,619 --> 00:49:41,253
4540No.
4541
4542988
454300:49:41,255 --> 00:49:44,355
4544Okay, so then there's
4545nothing to talk about really.
4546
4547989
454800:49:44,357 --> 00:49:47,425
4549No, nothing
4550to talk about at all...
4551
4552990
455300:49:47,427 --> 00:49:50,462
4554but thank you for the tip,
4555Mrs. Graham.
4556
4557991
455800:49:51,565 --> 00:49:53,801
4559What are you still doing here?
4560
4561992
456200:50:17,558 --> 00:50:19,060
4563Excuse me.
4564
4565993
456600:50:22,830 --> 00:50:24,098
4567All right.

4569994
457000:50:26,933 --> 00:50:28,199
4571Oh, there she is.

4581Good to see you.

4590for Dan Ellsberg.
4591
4592999
459300:50:34,641 --> 00:50:36,407
4594He doesn't work here anymore.
4595
45961000
459700:50:36,409 --> 00:50:38,242
4598Do you know where he is now?
4599
46001001
460100:50:38,244 --> 00:50:40,378
4602No, I don't. Who is this?
4603
46041002
460500:50:40,380 --> 00:50:41,846
4606Thank you.

4651confidence, Kay.

4664a more robust company.
4665

4674for Dan Ellsberg.
4675
46761018
467700:51:23,357 --> 00:51:24,891
4678He's not here.
4679

468100:51:26,058 --> 00:51:27,692
4682But he still works there?
4683
46841020
468500:51:27,694 --> 00:51:30,661
4686Yes. Can I take a message?
4687

468900:51:30,663 --> 00:51:33,431
4690Uh, tell him
4691Ben Bagdikian called.
4692

469400:51:33,433 --> 00:51:34,532
4695Congratulations.
4696
46971023
469800:51:34,534 --> 00:51:35,599
4699Guys, why don't we
4700
47011024
470200:51:35,601 --> 00:51:36,934
4703get together for a photograph?
4704
47051025
470600:51:36,936 --> 00:51:38,103
4707- Yes.
4708- Good idea. Absolutely.
4709
47101026
471100:51:38,105 --> 00:51:39,404
4712- Here we go.
4713- Let me see it.

4717- Smile, Kay.
4718- Shall I hold it?
4719
47201028
472100:51:41,375 --> 00:51:43,041
4722You just bought
4723a share of The Post!
4724
47251029
472600:51:43,043 --> 00:51:45,576
4727I know. I'm so happy.
4728
47291030
473000:51:45,578 --> 00:51:50,882
47311.35 million shares
4732at $24.50 a share.
4733
47341031
473500:51:53,853 --> 00:51:56,288
4736I believe this will not only
4737make The Post solvent...
4738
47391032
474000:51:56,290 --> 00:51:58,556
4741but stronger
4742than it ever has been.
4743
47441033
474500:51:58,558 --> 00:51:59,690
4746- To The Post!
4747- The Post!
4748
47491034
475000:51:59,692 --> 00:52:01,460
4751He said to call
4752from a secure phone.
4753
47541035
475500:52:01,462 --> 00:52:02,763
4756Mmm-hmm.
4757
47581036
475900:52:09,703 --> 00:52:11,302
4760I hear
4761Kennedy said Phil Graham
4762
47631037
476400:52:11,304 --> 00:52:12,737
4765was the smartest man
4766he ever met.
4767
47681038
476900:52:12,739 --> 00:52:15,540
4770Yeah, for Kay's father to hand
4771her husband the company...
4772
47731039
477400:52:15,542 --> 00:52:17,442
4775says something about the guy.
4776
47771040
477800:52:17,444 --> 00:52:20,746
4779I thought it said something
4780about the time.
4781
47821041
478300:52:20,748 --> 00:52:22,246
4784Turn it up.
4785
47861042
478700:52:22,248 --> 00:52:23,882
4788Good evening.
4789The New York Times late today
4790
47911043
479200:52:23,884 --> 00:52:26,050
4793was barred,
4794at least until Saturday...
4795
47961044
479700:52:26,052 --> 00:52:28,786
4798from publishing any more
4799classified documents...
4800
48011045
480200:52:28,788 --> 00:52:32,590
4803dealing with the cause and
4804conduct of the Vietnam War.
4805
48061046
480700:52:32,592 --> 00:52:34,525
4808The Times, true to its word...
4809
48101047
481100:52:34,527 --> 00:52:36,061
4812said it would abide
4813by the decision
4814
48151048
481600:52:36,063 --> 00:52:38,029
4817of Federal Judge
4818Murray Gurfein...
4819
48201049
482100:52:38,031 --> 00:52:40,297
4822but will resist
4823a permanent injunction
4824
48251050
482600:52:40,299 --> 00:52:41,666
4827at a hearing Friday.
4828
48291051
483000:52:41,668 --> 00:52:43,601
4831The Nixon administration
4832have charged that
4833
48341052
483500:52:43,603 --> 00:52:45,670
4836the final two parts of
4837The Times' series...
4838
48391053
484000:52:45,672 --> 00:52:47,405
4841would result in
4842irreparable injury
4843
48441054
484500:52:47,407 --> 00:52:49,040
4846to the national defense.
4847
48481055
484900:52:49,042 --> 00:52:50,808
4850Hell, why bother
4851fighting the communists?
4852
48531056
485400:52:50,810 --> 00:52:52,511
4855Think Jefferson just
4856rolled over in his grave.
4857
48581057
485900:52:52,513 --> 00:52:55,547
4860Have the courts ever stopped a
4861paper from publishing before?
4862
48631058
486400:52:55,549 --> 00:52:59,117
4865Not in the history
4866of the republic.
4867
48681059
486900:52:59,119 --> 00:53:01,485
4870Good thing
4871we're not part of this mess.
4872
48731060
487400:53:01,487 --> 00:53:04,723
4875I'd give my left one
4876to be in this mess.
4877
48781061
487900:53:04,725 --> 00:53:07,125
4880There's our
4881front page lede tomorrow.

4889All right.
4890
48911064
489200:53:11,130 --> 00:53:14,100
4893Party's over.
4894Let's get back to our jobs.
4895

489700:53:29,215 --> 00:53:32,183
4898- Hello?
4899- Hi, it's Ben.
4900

490200:53:32,185 --> 00:53:33,951
4903- Yes.
4904- Dan?
4905
49061067
490700:53:33,953 --> 00:53:35,119
4908No.
4909
49101068
491100:53:35,121 --> 00:53:38,991
4912Oh, I'm trying to get a hold
4913of a fella I used to know...
4914
49151069
491600:53:38,993 --> 00:53:41,458
4917617-597-4580.
4918
49191070
492000:53:41,460 --> 00:53:42,763
4921Okay.
4922
49231071
492400:53:45,565 --> 00:53:47,334
4925Hold on.
4926
49271072
492800:53:48,601 --> 00:53:50,302
4929Was it 4580?
4930
49311073
493200:53:50,304 --> 00:53:52,137
4933Call from another phone.
4934
49351074
493600:53:52,139 --> 00:53:56,243
4937617-597-4580.
4938
49391075
494000:54:05,987 --> 00:54:10,291
4941617-597-4580.
4942
49431076
494400:54:18,665 --> 00:54:20,065
4945Hello?
4946
49471077
494800:54:20,067 --> 00:54:23,134
4949- Yeah, I'm looking for...
4950- Yeah. Hey, Ben, it's Dan.
4951
49521078
495300:54:23,136 --> 00:54:26,637
4954Dan, it's good
4955to hear your voice.
4956
49571079
495800:54:26,639 --> 00:54:28,340
4959Yeah, it's been a while.
4960
49611080
496200:54:28,342 --> 00:54:29,710
4963Yeah.
4964
49651081
496600:54:47,860 --> 00:54:50,063
4967- Who is it?
4968- It's Ben.
4969
49701082
497100:54:59,505 --> 00:55:00,741
4972Ben.
4973
49741083
497500:55:01,074 --> 00:55:02,375
4976Dan.
4977
49781084
497900:55:07,813 --> 00:55:10,549
4980The study had 47 volumes.
4981
49821085
498300:55:10,551 --> 00:55:12,284
4984I slipped out
4985a couple at a time.
4986
49871086
498800:55:12,286 --> 00:55:13,821
4989Took me months to copy it all.
4990
49911087
499200:55:17,590 --> 00:55:18,824
4993What the hell?
4994
49951088
499600:55:18,826 --> 00:55:21,793
4997Well, we were
4998all former government guys.
4999
50001089
500100:55:21,795 --> 00:55:23,695
5002Top clearance, all of that.
5003
50041090
500500:55:23,697 --> 00:55:25,730
5006McNamara wanted
5007academics to have
5008
50091091
501000:55:25,732 --> 00:55:27,565
5011the chance to examine
5012what had happened.
5013
50141092
501500:55:27,567 --> 00:55:28,666
5016He would say to us,
5017
50181093
501900:55:28,668 --> 00:55:30,367
5020"Let the chips fall
5021where they may."
5022
50231094
502400:55:30,369 --> 00:55:31,570
5025Brave man.
5026
50271095
502800:55:31,572 --> 00:55:34,338
5029Well, I think guilt was a
5030bigger motivator than courage.
5031
50321096
503300:55:34,340 --> 00:55:36,241
5034McNamara didn't lie
5035as well as the rest...
5036
50371097
503800:55:36,243 --> 00:55:39,344
5039but I don't think he saw what
5040was coming, what we'd find.
5041
50421098
504300:55:39,346 --> 00:55:41,579
5044But it didn't take him long
5045to figure out...
5046
50471099
504800:55:41,581 --> 00:55:42,681
5049well, for us all
5050to figure out
5051
50521100
505300:55:42,683 --> 00:55:44,516
5054if the public ever saw
5055these papers...
5056
50571101
505800:55:44,518 --> 00:55:46,150
5059they would turn
5060against the war.
5061
50621102
506300:55:46,152 --> 00:55:49,154
5064Covert ops, guaranteed debt,
5065rigged elections?
5066
50671103
506800:55:49,156 --> 00:55:53,090
5069It's all in there.
5070Ike, Kennedy, Johnson.
5071
50721104
507300:55:53,092 --> 00:55:54,793
5074They violated
5075the Geneva Convention.
5076
50771105
507800:55:54,795 --> 00:55:57,529
5079They lied to Congress
5080and they lied to the public.
5081
50821106
508300:55:57,531 --> 00:56:01,699
5084They knew we couldn't win
5085and still sent boys to die.
5086
50871107
508800:56:01,701 --> 00:56:03,436
5089What about Nixon?
5090
50911108
509200:56:04,705 --> 00:56:06,503
5093He's just carrying on
5094like all the others.
5095
50961109
509700:56:06,505 --> 00:56:09,777
5098Too afraid to be the one who
5099loses the war on his watch.
5100
51011110
510200:56:11,177 --> 00:56:14,045
5103Someone said this
5104at some point...
5105
51061111
510700:56:14,047 --> 00:56:16,984
5108about why we stayed
5109when we knew we were losing.
5110
51111112
511200:56:17,951 --> 00:56:20,485
511310% was to help
5114the South Vietnamese.
5115
51161113
511700:56:20,487 --> 00:56:22,356
511820% was to hold back
5119the commies.
5120
51211114
512200:56:23,324 --> 00:56:25,556
512370% was to avoid
5124
51251115
512600:56:25,558 --> 00:56:28,326
5127the humiliation
5128of an American defeat.
5129
51301116
513100:56:28,328 --> 00:56:32,530
513270% of those boys...
5133
51341117
513500:56:32,532 --> 00:56:34,835
5136just to avoid
5137being humiliated?
5138
51391118
514000:56:35,435 --> 00:56:37,071
5141That stuck with me.
5142
51431119
514400:56:45,978 --> 00:56:47,911
5145They're gonna come after you,
5146you know.
5147
51481120
514900:56:47,913 --> 00:56:50,215
5150And I gotta be honest...
5151
51521121
515300:56:50,217 --> 00:56:53,119
5154the bread crumbs
5155weren't too hard to follow.
5156
51571122
515800:56:54,621 --> 00:56:55,856
5159I know.
5160
51611123
516200:56:57,958 --> 00:57:00,324
5163They're gonna
5164lock you up, Dan.
5165
51661124
516700:57:00,326 --> 00:57:03,464
5168Wouldn't you go to prison
5169to stop this war?
5170
51711125
517200:57:05,331 --> 00:57:07,534
5173Theoretically, sure.
5174
51751126
517600:57:10,770 --> 00:57:14,107
5177You are gonna
5178publish these documents?
5179
51801127
518100:57:16,442 --> 00:57:17,844
5182Yeah.
5183
51841128
518500:57:18,645 --> 00:57:21,382
5186Even with the injunction?
5187
51881129
518900:57:23,016 --> 00:57:24,185
5190Yes.
5191
51921130
519300:57:28,087 --> 00:57:31,324
5194Well, then it's not
5195so theoretical then, is it?
5196
51971131
519800:57:41,935 --> 00:57:45,072
5199I'm gonna go do some
5200work in the studio.
5201
52021132
520300:57:53,246 --> 00:57:56,183
5204My day was great,
5205thanks for asking.
5206
52071133
520800:58:12,531 --> 00:58:15,368
5209That picture makes me sad.
5210
52111134
521200:58:16,569 --> 00:58:18,237
5213Me too.
5214
52151135
521600:58:23,310 --> 00:58:25,009
5217- Bradlee.
5218- I'm in Boston.
5219
52201136
522100:58:25,011 --> 00:58:27,244
5222I'm gonna need two seats.
5223
52241137
522500:58:27,246 --> 00:58:28,179
5226Why?
5227
52281138
522900:58:28,181 --> 00:58:30,348
5230I'm gonna need to
5231buy two seats

5244No shit, you have them?

5263I don't want
5264the whole newsroom
5265
52661146
526700:58:45,632 --> 00:58:46,831
5268knowing about this yet.
5269
52701147
527100:58:46,833 --> 00:58:48,132
5272I gotta go.
5273
52741148
527500:58:48,134 --> 00:58:50,601
5276Didn't you just invite
5277a bunch of people over?
5278
52791149
528000:58:50,603 --> 00:58:51,802
5281Yeah.
5282

528400:58:51,804 --> 00:58:54,038
5285Yeah, they'll show up
5286sometime tomorrow.
5287

528900:58:54,040 --> 00:58:55,172
5290When sometime tomorrow?
5291
52921152
529300:58:55,174 --> 00:58:56,907
5294Is this a breakfast thing
5295or a lunch thing?
5296
52971153
529800:58:56,909 --> 00:58:59,043
5299- Don't know.
5300- Do you need me to get things?
5301
53021154
530300:58:59,045 --> 00:59:00,779
5304- Nah, we'll figure it all out.
5305- Okay.
5306
53071155
530800:59:00,781 --> 00:59:02,813
5309- Well, where are you going?
5310- Out.
5311
53121156
531300:59:02,815 --> 00:59:04,482
5314- You going to the newsroom?
5315- No.
5316
53171157
531800:59:04,484 --> 00:59:05,983
5319Love you, bear.
5320
53211158
532200:59:07,186 --> 00:59:09,320
5323I got a cake.
5324I hope it's okay?
5325
53261159
532700:59:09,322 --> 00:59:12,259
5328Oh, sure, as long as nobody
5329counts the candles.
5330
53311160
533200:59:14,094 --> 00:59:16,761
5333Uh, sorry to barge in again.
5334
53351161
533600:59:16,763 --> 00:59:18,996
5337Maybe I should give you a key.
5338
53391162
534000:59:18,998 --> 00:59:21,766
5341Ah, not here
5342to crash your party.
5343
53441163
534500:59:21,768 --> 00:59:22,900
5346What's up?
5347
53481164
534900:59:22,902 --> 00:59:25,003
5350Well, I could use a minute.
5351
53521165
535300:59:32,110 --> 00:59:34,145
5354So, can I ask you a
5355hypothetical question?
5356
53571166
535800:59:34,147 --> 00:59:36,413
5359Oh, dear, I don't like
5360hypothetical questions.
5361
53621167
536300:59:36,415 --> 00:59:37,882
5364Well, I don't think
5365you're gonna
5366
53671168
536800:59:37,884 --> 00:59:39,419
5369like the real one either.
5370
53711169
537200:59:42,556 --> 00:59:43,991
5373Do you have the papers?
5374
53751170
537600:59:45,625 --> 00:59:46,994
5377Not yet.
5378
53791171
538000:59:50,429 --> 00:59:54,065
5381Oh, gosh,
5382because you know...
5383
53841172
538500:59:54,067 --> 00:59:56,967
5386the position
5387that would put me in.
5388
53891173
539000:59:56,969 --> 00:59:58,436
5391You know, we have language
5392
53931174
539400:59:58,438 --> 01:00:00,103
5395in the prospectus
5396that we've...
5397
53981175
539901:00:00,105 --> 01:00:02,574
5400Yeah, I know that the
5401bankers can change their mind.
5402
54031176
540401:00:02,576 --> 01:00:04,775
5405And I know what is at stake.
5406
54071177
540801:00:04,777 --> 01:00:06,076
5409You know...
5410
54111178
541201:00:06,078 --> 01:00:08,679
5413the only couple I knew
5414that both Kennedy
5415
54161179
541701:00:08,681 --> 01:00:10,282
5418and LBJ wanted
5419to socialize with...
5420
54211180
542201:00:10,284 --> 01:00:14,521
5423was you and your husband and
5424you owned the damn paper.
5425
54261181
542701:00:16,190 --> 01:00:18,088
5428Of course that's the way
5429things worked.
5430
54311182
543201:00:18,090 --> 01:00:20,358
5433Politicians and the press,
5434they trusted each other...
5435
54361183
543701:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,059
5438so they could go to
5439the same dinner party
5440
54411184
544201:00:22,061 --> 01:00:23,561
5443and drink cocktails
5444and tell jokes...
5445
54461185
544701:00:23,563 --> 01:00:25,596
5448while there was a war
5449waging in Vietnam.
5450
54511186
545201:00:25,598 --> 01:00:27,297
5453Ben, I don't know
5454what we're talking about.
5455
54561187
545701:00:27,299 --> 01:00:29,300
5458I'm not protecting Lyndon.
5459
54601188
546101:00:29,302 --> 01:00:30,668
5462No, you got his former
5463Secretary of Defense,
5464
54651189
546601:00:30,670 --> 01:00:31,802
5467Robert McNamara...
5468
54691190
547001:00:31,804 --> 01:00:33,971
5471the man
5472who commissioned this study.
5473
54741191
547501:00:33,973 --> 01:00:35,373
5476He's one of about
5477a dozen party guests...
5478
54791192
548001:00:35,375 --> 01:00:37,174
5481- out on your patio.
5482- I'm not protecting him.
5483
54841193
548501:00:37,176 --> 01:00:38,241
5486I'm not protecting
5487any of them.
5488
54891194
549001:00:38,243 --> 01:00:39,543
5491I'm protecting the paper.
5492
54931195
549401:00:39,545 --> 01:00:43,246
5495Yeah? Well, I wasn't a stooge
5496for Jack Kennedy.
5497
54981196
549901:00:43,248 --> 01:00:44,882
5500The night he was assassinated
5501
55021197
550301:00:44,884 --> 01:00:47,219
5504Tony and I were down
5505at the Naval Hospital...
5506
55071198
550801:00:47,221 --> 01:00:50,954
5509so we would be there to meet
5510Jackie when she landed.
5511
55121199
551301:00:50,956 --> 01:00:52,023
5514She was bringing Jack's body
5515
55161200
551701:00:52,025 --> 01:00:53,824
5518back on the plane
5519from Dallas...
5520
55211201
552201:00:53,826 --> 01:00:56,194
5523and she walked into the room.
5524
55251202
552601:00:56,196 --> 01:00:58,128
5527She was still
5528wearing that pink suit
5529
55301203
553101:00:58,130 --> 01:01:00,665
5532with Jack's blood all over it.
5533
55341204
553501:01:00,667 --> 01:01:03,867
5536She fell into Tony's arms
5537and they held each other...
5538
55391205
554001:01:03,869 --> 01:01:06,072
5541for quite a long time.
5542
55431206
554401:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,373
5545And then Jackie looked at me
5546and said...
5547
55481207
554901:01:10,375 --> 01:01:13,043
5550"None of this,
5551none of what you see,
5552
55531208
555401:01:13,045 --> 01:01:14,311
5555"none of what I say...
5556
55571209
555801:01:14,313 --> 01:01:18,882
5559"is ever going to be
5560in your newspaper, Ben."
5561
55621210
556301:01:18,884 --> 01:01:21,853
5564And that just about
5565broke my heart.
5566
55671211
556801:01:21,855 --> 01:01:24,020
5569I never...
5570
55711212
557201:01:24,022 --> 01:01:25,790
5573I never thought of Jack
5574as a source,
5575
55761213
557701:01:25,792 --> 01:01:27,824
5578I thought of him as a friend.
5579
55801214
558101:01:27,826 --> 01:01:30,194
5582And that was my mistake.
5583
55841215
558501:01:30,196 --> 01:01:33,665
5586And it was something that
5587Jack knew all along.
5588
55891216
559001:01:33,667 --> 01:01:36,636
5591We can't be both.
5592We have to choose.
5593
55941217
559501:01:37,002 --> 01:01:38,603
5596And...
5597
55981218
559901:01:38,605 --> 01:01:40,270
5600And that's the point.
5601
56021219
560301:01:40,272 --> 01:01:42,306
5604The days of us all
5605smoking cigars together
5606
56071220
560801:01:42,308 --> 01:01:45,043
5609down on Pennsylvania Avenue
5610are over.
5611
56121221
561301:01:45,045 --> 01:01:49,249
5614Your friend McNamara's
5615study proves that.
5616
56171222
561801:01:50,049 --> 01:01:52,219
5619The way they lied.
5620
56211223
562201:01:53,587 --> 01:01:55,753
5623The way they lied.
5624
56251224
562601:01:55,755 --> 01:01:57,858
5627Those days have to be over.
5628
56291225
563001:01:59,491 --> 01:02:02,592
5631We have to be the check
5632on their power.
5633
56341226
563501:02:02,594 --> 01:02:04,862
5636If we don't
5637hold them accountable,
5638
56391227
564001:02:04,864 --> 01:02:07,301
5641I mean, my God, who will?
5642
56431228
564401:02:08,634 --> 01:02:10,402
5645Well, I've never
5646smoked a cigar...
5647
56481229
564901:02:10,404 --> 01:02:13,103
5650and I have no problem
5651holding Lyndon or Jack...
5652
56531230
565401:02:13,105 --> 01:02:15,473
5655or Bob or any of them
5656accountable.
5657
56581231
565901:02:15,475 --> 01:02:17,775
5660But we can't
5661hold them accountable
5662
56631232
566401:02:17,777 --> 01:02:19,679
5665if we don't have a newspaper.
5666
56671233
566801:02:21,447 --> 01:02:24,014
5669When I get my hands
5670on that study...
5671
56721234
567301:02:24,016 --> 01:02:26,652
5674what are you going to do,
5675Mrs. Graham?
5676
56771235
567801:02:30,022 --> 01:02:32,056
5679Oh, uh...
5680
56811236
568201:02:32,058 --> 01:02:33,625
5683Happy birthday, by the way.
5684
56851237
568601:02:36,163 --> 01:02:38,529
5687Oh, that's not what I heard.
5688
56891238
569001:02:38,531 --> 01:02:39,730
5691Am I right?
5692
56931239
569401:02:45,371 --> 01:02:46,871
5695- Hi. Good morning.
5696- Club soda.
5697
56981240
569901:02:46,873 --> 01:02:48,542
5700- Enjoy your flight.
5701- Yes, thank you.
5702
57031241
570401:02:49,375 --> 01:02:51,476
5705Sir, I'm gonna need
5706to put your seat
5707
57081242
570901:02:51,478 --> 01:02:53,610
5710in the full upright position
5711before takeoff.
5712
57131243
571401:02:53,612 --> 01:02:54,647
5715Yeah.
5716
57171244
571801:02:55,248 --> 01:02:57,415
5719Must be precious cargo.
5720
57211245
572201:02:57,417 --> 01:03:00,585
5723Yeah. It's just
5724government secrets.
5725
57261246
572701:03:00,587 --> 01:03:04,324
5728Please fasten
5729your seatbelt. Thank you.
5730
57311247
573201:03:17,337 --> 01:03:20,404
5733- You know why we're here?
5734- Beats me.
5735
57361248
573701:03:20,406 --> 01:03:22,172
5738- Hi, Marina.
5739- Hi.
5740
57411249
574201:03:22,174 --> 01:03:24,409
5743- Do you want lemonade?
5744- Little early for me.
5745
57461250
574701:03:24,411 --> 01:03:26,076
5748Loosen up, I'm buying.
5749
57501251
575101:03:26,078 --> 01:03:28,378
5752What kinda lemonade
5753do you have there?
5754
57551252
575601:03:28,380 --> 01:03:31,248
5757Uh... It's the one
5758with the lemons in it.
5759
57601253
576101:03:31,250 --> 01:03:32,451
5762Okay.
5763
57641254
576501:03:33,719 --> 01:03:35,254
5766There you go.
5767
57681255
576901:03:37,322 --> 01:03:39,525
5770Phil, help me out.
5771
57721256
577301:03:41,226 --> 01:03:43,362
5774Grab my briefcase.
5775
57761257
577701:03:45,130 --> 01:03:46,630
5778- Is that...?
5779- Yep.
5780
57811258
578201:03:59,379 --> 01:04:00,911
5783It's not the full report
5784
57851259
578601:04:00,913 --> 01:04:03,350
5787but it's over
57884,000 pages of it.
5789
57901260
579101:04:06,219 --> 01:04:08,353
5792- Are these in order?
5793- I don't think so.
5794
57951261
579601:04:08,355 --> 01:04:09,654
5797There are no page numbers.
5798
57991262
580001:04:09,656 --> 01:04:11,554
5801Yeah, that's where the
5802top secret stamps were.
5803
58041263
580501:04:11,556 --> 01:04:13,056
5806My source had to cut 'em off.
5807
58081264
580901:04:13,058 --> 01:04:14,491
5810I was supposed to
5811retire on Friday.
5812
58131265
581401:04:14,493 --> 01:04:16,027
5815Ben, how we supposed
5816to comb through
5817
58181266
581901:04:16,029 --> 01:04:17,161
58204,000 pages of material?
5821
58221267
582301:04:17,163 --> 01:04:18,329
5824They're not even
5825loosely organized?
5826
58271268
582801:04:18,331 --> 01:04:19,596
5829The Times had three months.
5830
58311269
583201:04:19,598 --> 01:04:20,797
5833There's no way
5834we can possibly get this done.
5835
58361270
583701:04:20,799 --> 01:04:22,565
5838He's right. We've got
5839less than eight hours.
5840
58411271
584201:04:22,567 --> 01:04:24,201
5843We could shoot for city.
5844Then we'd have ten.
5845
58461272
584701:04:24,203 --> 01:04:25,670
5848Hey, hey, hey.
5849For the last six years
5850
58511273
585201:04:25,672 --> 01:04:27,170
5853we've been playin' catch-up...
5854
58551274
585601:04:27,172 --> 01:04:28,273
5857and now thanks to
5858
58591275
586001:04:28,275 --> 01:04:29,674
5861the President
5862of the United States...
5863
58641276
586501:04:29,676 --> 01:04:31,308
5866who, by the way,
5867is taking a shit
5868
58691277
587001:04:31,310 --> 01:04:32,976
5871all over
5872the First Amendment...
5873
58741278
587501:04:32,978 --> 01:04:34,645
5876we have the goods.
5877
58781279
587901:04:34,647 --> 01:04:36,746
5880And we don't have
5881any competition.
5882
58831280
588401:04:36,748 --> 01:04:38,782
5885There's dozens
5886of stories in here.
5887
58881281
588901:04:38,784 --> 01:04:41,753
5890The Times has barely
5891scratched the surface.
5892
58931282
589401:04:41,755 --> 01:04:44,925
5895We have ten hours
5896'til the deadline...
5897
58981283
589901:04:45,324 --> 01:04:47,360
5900so we dig in.
5901
59021284
590301:04:50,764 --> 01:04:53,030
5904I think this memo's
5905from McNamara.
5906
59071285
590801:04:53,032 --> 01:04:54,598
5909"It is my belief
5910that there should be
5911
59121286
591301:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,433
5914"a three- or four-week pause
5915in bombing."
5916
59171287
591801:04:56,435 --> 01:04:58,570
5919Wait, wait, wait. I saw
5920the other half of that memo.
5921
59221288
592301:04:58,572 --> 01:05:01,938
5924Anyone have the back half of
5925a cable from Dulles in '54?
5926
59271289
592801:05:01,940 --> 01:05:03,842
5929I thought I saw one from July.
5930
59311290
593201:05:03,844 --> 01:05:06,143
5933Yeah, here it is. "The reasons
5934for this belief...
5935
59361291
593701:05:06,145 --> 01:05:08,045
5938"are that we must
5939lay a foundation
5940
59411292
594201:05:08,047 --> 01:05:09,480
5943"in the mind
5944of the American public."
5945
59461293
594701:05:09,482 --> 01:05:11,451
5948That's it! That's it!
5949
59501294
595101:05:12,784 --> 01:05:14,418
5952So Johnson wasn't trying
5953to make peace.
5954
59551295
595601:05:14,420 --> 01:05:15,719
5957He was just
5958manipulating the public?
5959
59601296
596101:05:15,721 --> 01:05:18,723
5962Eyes out for a suspension
5963in bombing from when?
5964
59651297
596601:05:18,725 --> 01:05:20,324
5967'65 to '68.
5968
59691298
597001:05:20,326 --> 01:05:21,659
5971What about a memo
5972
59731299
597401:05:21,661 --> 01:05:25,029
5975from Eisenhower's special
5976committee on Indochina?
5977
59781300
597901:05:25,031 --> 01:05:26,130
5980Uh, Meg read
5981a part of one to me.
5982
59831301
598401:05:26,132 --> 01:05:27,197
5985Meg?
5986
59871302
598801:05:27,199 --> 01:05:28,431
5989Anybody see a mention
5990
59911303
599201:05:28,433 --> 01:05:29,666
5993of the RAND Viet Cong study?
5994
59951304
599601:05:29,668 --> 01:05:32,002
5997Yeah, I think this might be
5998from your RAND study.
5999
60001305
600101:05:32,004 --> 01:05:33,570
6002"VC are deeply committed.
6003
60041306
600501:05:33,572 --> 01:05:35,605
6006"South Vietnam
6007is a lost cause."
6008
60091307
601001:05:35,607 --> 01:05:37,608
6011- Whoa! There you go.
6012- Bingo.
6013
60141308
601501:05:37,610 --> 01:05:39,110
6016- All right.
6017- Meg, I need the...
6018
60191309
602001:05:39,112 --> 01:05:40,244
6021Yeah,
6022I put it on the shelf.
6023
60241310
602501:05:40,246 --> 01:05:42,913
6026Couple of piles.
6027We're getting somewhere.
6028
60291311
603001:05:42,915 --> 01:05:45,715
6031All right, it's 1:30.
6032Four o'clock story conference.
6033
60341312
603501:05:45,717 --> 01:05:47,851
6036Can I interest anyone
6037in some lemonade?
6038
60391313
604001:05:47,853 --> 01:05:49,554
6041- Yes!
6042- Does it have vodka in it?
6043
60441314
604501:05:49,556 --> 01:05:51,054
6046I don't put vodka
6047in my lemonade.
6048
60491315
605001:05:51,056 --> 01:05:52,155
6051Go easy on the kid.
6052
60531316
605401:05:52,157 --> 01:05:53,491
6055Why not?
6056
60571317
605801:05:53,493 --> 01:05:54,824
6059- How much, sweetheart?
6060- A quarter.
6061
60621318
606301:05:54,826 --> 01:05:55,893
6064It's 50 cents.
6065
60661319
606701:05:55,895 --> 01:05:57,997
6068- Inflation.
6069- Price is going up.
6070
60711320
607201:06:01,366 --> 01:06:02,967
6073Mr. Bradlee.
6074
60751321
607601:06:02,969 --> 01:06:04,268
6077Roger Clark.
6078
60791322
608001:06:04,270 --> 01:06:06,369
6081Oh, you're Roger Clark?
6082
60831323
608401:06:06,371 --> 01:06:08,271
6085It's nice to
6086meet you in person.
6087
60881324
608901:06:08,273 --> 01:06:11,875
6090You are our
6091senior legal counsel.
6092
60931325
609401:06:11,877 --> 01:06:13,844
6095Yes, we've spoken
6096on the phone.
6097
60981326
609901:06:13,846 --> 01:06:15,545
6100My voice should
6101sound familiar.
6102
61031327
610401:06:15,547 --> 01:06:18,382
6105When did you
6106finish law school?
6107
61081328
610901:06:18,384 --> 01:06:20,784
6110- I graduated...
6111- Rhetorical question.
6112
61131329
611401:06:20,786 --> 01:06:22,920
6115You know,
6116the guy we had before you
6117
61181330
611901:06:22,922 --> 01:06:24,889
6120is now Secretary of State.
6121
61221331
612301:06:24,891 --> 01:06:27,690
6124I did not know that.
6125
61261332
612701:06:27,692 --> 01:06:29,627
6128A little joke,
6129perhaps not the time.
6130
61311333
613201:06:29,629 --> 01:06:31,228
6133What exactly
6134can I help you with...
6135
61361334
613701:06:31,230 --> 01:06:34,063
6138So, why would the CIA Director
6139send a memo on war policy?
6140
61411335
614201:06:34,065 --> 01:06:35,933
6143Because they weren't
6144calling it a war yet.
6145
61461336
614701:06:35,935 --> 01:06:37,969
6148Okay, I've got
6149turkey with mustard.
6150
61511337
615201:06:37,971 --> 01:06:39,237
6153Roast beef with horseradish.
6154
61551338
615601:06:39,239 --> 01:06:41,771
6157- Howard, come look at this.
6158- Chal, you've gotta see this.
6159
61601339
616101:06:41,773 --> 01:06:44,074
6162It's a full analysis
6163of McNamara's
6164
61651340
616601:06:44,076 --> 01:06:45,143
6167changing view of the war.
6168
61691341
617001:06:45,145 --> 01:06:46,543
6171Does it say anything
6172about why he does?
6173
61741342
617501:06:46,545 --> 01:06:48,279
6176So we knew they were
6177gonna assassinate Diem.
6178
61791343
618001:06:48,281 --> 01:06:49,779
6181Yeah, and we did
6182nothing to stop it.
6183
61841344
618501:06:49,781 --> 01:06:51,616
6186I think I got something
6187on McNamara on the fireplace.
6188
61891345
619001:06:51,618 --> 01:06:53,384
6191The other fireplace.
6192
61931346
619401:06:54,754 --> 01:06:56,520
6195Murrey, where's
6196the back half of this one?
6197
61981347
619901:06:56,522 --> 01:06:58,090
6200What's the thing
6201you just gave me?
6202
62031348
620401:06:59,426 --> 01:07:01,092
6205Tell me these aren't
6206the classified documents
6207
62081349
620901:07:01,094 --> 01:07:02,525
6210from the McNamara study.
6211
62121350
621301:07:02,527 --> 01:07:04,329
62144,000 pages of 'em.
6215
62161351
621701:07:04,331 --> 01:07:07,197
6218- Hungry?
6219- I need to use a phone.
6220
62211352
622201:07:07,199 --> 01:07:09,299
6223There's one in the other room.
6224
62251353
622601:07:09,301 --> 01:07:10,534
6227- Two.
6228- Is that it?
6229
62301354
623101:07:10,536 --> 01:07:11,969
6232This is it. This is it.
6233
62341355
623501:07:11,971 --> 01:07:13,436
6236Hmm?
6237
62381356
623901:07:13,438 --> 01:07:15,271
6240This is
6241the other half of it.
6242
62431357
624401:07:26,485 --> 01:07:28,654
6245Oh, my God.
6246
62471358
624801:07:56,281 --> 01:07:59,583
6249Hi. Thanks for
6250letting me drop by.
6251
62521359
625301:07:59,585 --> 01:08:01,918
6254- Marg still napping?
6255- Yeah.
6256
62571360
625801:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,587
6259Do you mind
6260if we talk in the sunroom?
6261
62621361
626301:08:03,589 --> 01:08:05,023
6264Just so I can hear her
6265if she wakes.
6266
62671362
626801:08:05,025 --> 01:08:06,958
6269No, of course not.
6270I can't stay long.
6271
62721363
627301:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,659
6274I've got a big event
6275at the house later.
6276
62771364
627801:08:08,661 --> 01:08:11,630
6279I guess you've read
6280everything now.
6281
62821365
628301:08:12,364 --> 01:08:14,331
6284Yes, I have. I have, yes.
6285
62861366
628701:08:14,333 --> 01:08:16,502
6288And I went over it
6289again this morning.
6290
62911367
629201:08:16,902 --> 01:08:18,505
6293All of it.
6294
62951368
629601:08:19,471 --> 01:08:21,073
6297And I just...
6298
62991369
630001:08:22,641 --> 01:08:26,979
6301Forgive me, Bob, I know you're
6302dealing with so much...
6303
63041370
630501:08:28,648 --> 01:08:32,682
6306but it's just so hard to try
6307to make sense of why.
6308
63091371
631001:08:32,684 --> 01:08:35,319
6311Of how you could have done
6312all these things.
6313
63141372
631501:08:35,321 --> 01:08:37,254
6316How you could
6317just lie to us all.
6318
63191373
632001:08:37,256 --> 01:08:41,858
6321Well, it's easy for the papers
6322to characterize us as liars.
6323
63241374
632501:08:41,860 --> 01:08:44,094
6326We were just trying to
6327push back...
6328
63291375
633001:08:44,096 --> 01:08:46,330
6331No, but you let it
6332go on and on and on.
6333
63341376
633501:08:46,332 --> 01:08:49,232
6336My son is home now and safe,
6337thank God.
6338
63391377
634001:08:49,234 --> 01:08:50,968
6341But you watched him go.
6342
63431378
634401:08:50,970 --> 01:08:52,335
6345You knew
6346we couldn't win over there...
6347
63481379
634901:08:52,337 --> 01:08:55,708
6350for years and years and years,
6351and yet you let me...
6352
63531380
635401:08:56,943 --> 01:09:00,076
6355you let so many of our friends
6356send our boys off.
6357
63581381
635901:09:00,078 --> 01:09:02,946
6360Kay, we were doing
6361the best we could.
6362
63631382
636401:09:02,948 --> 01:09:06,249
6365It was domino theory,
6366containment...
6367
63681383
636901:09:06,251 --> 01:09:07,785
6370and eventually we felt
6371
63721384
637301:09:07,787 --> 01:09:09,719
6374that military pressure
6375was the only thing...
6376
63771385
637801:09:09,721 --> 01:09:11,688
6379that was gonna drive
6380Ho Chi Minh to the table.
6381
63821386
638301:09:11,690 --> 01:09:13,456
6384Our decision-making
6385process was...
6386
63871387
638801:09:13,458 --> 01:09:15,095
6389Flawed.
6390
63911388
639201:09:19,832 --> 01:09:23,136
6393It was flawed.
6394That's what your study said.
6395
63961389
639701:09:24,938 --> 01:09:26,172
6398Yes.
6399
64001390
640101:09:28,241 --> 01:09:33,279
6402I do believe that you were
6403trying to do your best...
6404
64051391
640601:09:34,247 --> 01:09:36,781
6407and I know
6408how difficult it can be
6409
64101392
641101:09:36,783 --> 01:09:39,049
6412to make choices that will...
6413
64141393
641501:09:39,051 --> 01:09:41,684
6416That's kind of you.
6417
64181394
641901:09:41,686 --> 01:09:45,324
6420Well, what comes next
6421might not be so kind.
6422
64231395
642401:09:47,393 --> 01:09:49,459
6425You have the papers.
6426
64271396
642801:09:51,330 --> 01:09:52,795
6429Let's just say...
6430
64311397
643201:09:52,797 --> 01:09:56,335
6433I may have
6434a big decision to make.
6435
64361398
643701:10:01,541 --> 01:10:03,206
6438They will
6439argue it's a violation
6440
64411399
644201:10:03,208 --> 01:10:04,307
6443of the Espionage Act.
6444
64451400
644601:10:04,309 --> 01:10:05,541
6447That is a felony, Ben.
6448
64491401
645001:10:05,543 --> 01:10:07,477
6451That's only
6452if the documents we print
6453
64541402
645501:10:07,479 --> 01:10:08,812
6456could damage
6457the United States.
6458
64591403
646001:10:08,814 --> 01:10:10,647
6461There's a federal judge
6462in New York
6463
64641404
646501:10:10,649 --> 01:10:11,815
6466who seems to think
6467that they could.
6468
64691405
647001:10:11,817 --> 01:10:13,116
6471Well, I've got
6472six seasoned journalists
6473
64741406
647501:10:13,118 --> 01:10:14,418
6476in the next room...
6477
64781407
647901:10:14,420 --> 01:10:16,053
6480who've been reporting on this
6481war for the last ten years...
6482
64831408
648401:10:16,055 --> 01:10:18,188
6485and I'll lay odds that they
6486have a better idea...
6487
64881409
648901:10:18,190 --> 01:10:19,690
6490of what could damage
6491the United States
6492
64931410
649401:10:19,692 --> 01:10:20,825
6495than some judge...
6496
64971411
649801:10:20,827 --> 01:10:22,092
6499who is just now wading
6500
65011412
650201:10:22,094 --> 01:10:23,826
6503into this territory
6504for the first time.
6505
65061413
650701:10:23,828 --> 01:10:26,263
6508"Wading." Is that a metaphor
6509for Vietnam?
6510
65111414
651201:10:26,265 --> 01:10:29,232
6513Okay. Ben, look, we know
6514your reporters are talented.
6515
65161415
651701:10:29,234 --> 01:10:31,535
6518But The New York Times
6519spent three months
6520
65211416
652201:10:31,537 --> 01:10:33,570
6523going over these documents.
6524
65251417
652601:10:33,572 --> 01:10:35,405
6527You've got, what,
6528seven hours now
6529
65301418
653101:10:35,407 --> 01:10:36,740
6532until the paper goes to press?
6533
65341419
653501:10:36,742 --> 01:10:39,142
6536Can you honestly tell me
6537that that is enough time...
6538
65391420
654001:10:39,144 --> 01:10:43,214
6541to make sure
6542not a single military plan,
6543
65441421
654501:10:43,216 --> 01:10:44,347
6546not a single U.S. soldier...
6547
65481422
654901:10:44,349 --> 01:10:47,250
6550not a single American life
6551will be put in harm's way?
6552
65531423
655401:10:47,252 --> 01:10:48,852
6555That this will do no damage
6556
65571424
655801:10:48,854 --> 01:10:51,088
6559to the United States
6560if you publish?
6561
65621425
656301:10:51,090 --> 01:10:52,125
6564Yes.
6565
65661426
656701:10:54,327 --> 01:10:55,860
6568You're sure about that?
6569
65701427
657101:10:55,862 --> 01:10:56,826
6572No!
6573
65741428
657501:10:56,828 --> 01:11:00,063
6576That's why
6577I've called you guys.
6578
65791429
658001:11:00,065 --> 01:11:02,599
6581Look, Kay, I know
6582why The Times ran the story
6583
65841430
658501:11:02,601 --> 01:11:04,201
6586but you need to understand...
6587
65881431
658901:11:04,203 --> 01:11:05,669
6590the study was for posterity.
6591
65921432
659301:11:05,671 --> 01:11:07,839
6594It was written for academics
6595in the future...
6596
65971433
659801:11:07,841 --> 01:11:09,639
6599and right now we're still
6600in the middle of the war.
6601
66021434
660301:11:09,641 --> 01:11:11,208
6604The papers can't be objective.
6605
66061435
660701:11:11,210 --> 01:11:13,643
6608And I suppose the public
6609has a right to know...
6610
66111436
661201:11:13,645 --> 01:11:15,913
6613but I would prefer
6614that the study
6615
66161437
661701:11:15,915 --> 01:11:17,347
6618not be made
6619widely available...
6620
66211438
662201:11:17,349 --> 01:11:20,418
6623until it can be read with some
6624perspective. You understand.
6625
66261439
662701:11:20,420 --> 01:11:22,052
6628Mmm.
6629
66301440
663101:11:24,890 --> 01:11:27,325
6632We've been through a lot,
6633haven't we?
6634
66351441
663601:11:27,327 --> 01:11:30,761
6637You and Marg
6638were there for me...
6639
66401442
664101:11:30,763 --> 01:11:32,963
6642at the lowest point
6643of my life.
6644
66451443
664601:11:32,965 --> 01:11:36,566
6647You helped me, you selected
6648my entire board...
6649
66501444
665101:11:36,568 --> 01:11:39,236
6652you're my most
6653trusted advisor...
6654
66551445
665601:11:39,238 --> 01:11:40,839
6657my dear friend.
6658
66591446
666001:11:41,774 --> 01:11:45,241
6661But my feelings about that
6662and about you...
6663
66641447
666501:11:45,243 --> 01:11:48,946
6666can't be part of this decision
6667to publish or not.
6668
66691448
667001:11:48,948 --> 01:11:53,517
6671I'm here
6672asking your advice, Bob...
6673
66741449
667501:11:53,519 --> 01:11:56,253
6676not your permission.
6677
66781450
667901:11:56,255 --> 01:11:59,222
6680Well, then as one of your
6681most trusted advisors...
6682
66831451
668401:11:59,224 --> 01:12:01,526
6685and someone who knows how much
6686you care about this company...
6687
66881452
668901:12:01,528 --> 01:12:02,659
6690I'm worried, Kay.
6691
66921453
669301:12:02,661 --> 01:12:04,195
6694I worked in Washington
6695for ten years,
6696
66971454
669801:12:04,197 --> 01:12:05,663
6699I've seen
6700these people up close.
6701
67021455
670301:12:05,665 --> 01:12:07,964
6704Bobby and Lyndon,
6705they were tough customers,
6706
67071456
670801:12:07,966 --> 01:12:10,066
6709but Nixon is different.
6710
67111457
671201:12:10,068 --> 01:12:12,303
6713He's got some real bad
6714people around him.
6715
67161458
671701:12:12,305 --> 01:12:14,539
6718And if you publish he'll
6719get the very worst of them.
6720
67211459
672201:12:14,541 --> 01:12:15,772
6723The Colsons
6724and the Ehrlichmans
6725
67261460
672701:12:15,774 --> 01:12:16,906
6728and he'll crush you.
6729
67301461
673101:12:16,908 --> 01:12:18,275
6732I know he's just awful,
6733but I...
6734
67351462
673601:12:18,277 --> 01:12:21,145
6737Nixon's a son of a bitch!
6738He hates you.
6739
67401463
674101:12:21,147 --> 01:12:22,146
6742He hates Ben.
6743
67441464
674501:12:22,148 --> 01:12:23,312
6746He's wanted to ruin
6747the paper for years...
6748
67491465
675001:12:23,314 --> 01:12:26,116
6751and you will not get
6752a second chance, Kay.
6753
67541466
675501:12:26,118 --> 01:12:28,017
6756The Richard Nixon I know
6757will muster
6758
67591467
676001:12:28,019 --> 01:12:29,687
6761the full power
6762of the presidency...
6763
67641468
676501:12:29,689 --> 01:12:31,688
6766and if there's a way
6767to destroy your paper,
6768
67691469
677001:12:31,690 --> 01:12:33,992
6771by God, he'll find it.
6772
67731470
677401:12:36,461 --> 01:12:38,829
6775Publish information
6776that harms national security.
6777
67781471
677901:12:38,831 --> 01:12:40,062
6780I told you,
6781there is nothing in there.
6782
67831472
678401:12:40,064 --> 01:12:41,965
6785If there is, the paper
6786will be prosecuted.
6787
67881473
678901:12:41,967 --> 01:12:43,599
6790Isn't that why you're here?
6791
67921474
679301:12:43,601 --> 01:12:45,035
6794Yes, Ben, but if we lose...
6795
67961475
679701:12:45,037 --> 01:12:46,771
6798With what we pay you,
6799you really shouldn't lose.
6800
68011476
680201:12:46,773 --> 01:12:47,838
6803Ben, you need
6804to listen to them.
6805
68061477
680701:12:47,840 --> 01:12:48,972
6808Hey, Fritz.
6809Good to see you.
6810
68111478
681201:12:48,974 --> 01:12:50,039
6813This is about
6814the future of the company
6815
68161479
681701:12:50,041 --> 01:12:51,342
6818and ensuring there is one.
6819
68201480
682101:12:51,344 --> 01:12:53,576
6822That's a little melodramatic,
6823don't you think?
6824
68251481
682601:12:53,578 --> 01:12:54,977
6827Melodramatic?
6828You're talking about
6829
68301482
683101:12:54,979 --> 01:12:58,081
6832exposing years
6833of government secrets.
6834
68351483
683601:12:58,083 --> 01:13:00,717
6837I can't imagine they're
6838gonna take that lightly.
6839
68401484
684101:13:00,719 --> 01:13:02,252
6842You could jeopardize
6843the public offering.
6844
68451485
684601:13:02,254 --> 01:13:04,388
6847You could jeopardize
6848our television stations.
6849
68501486
685101:13:04,390 --> 01:13:06,522
6852You know a felon can't
6853hold a broadcast license.
6854
68551487
685601:13:06,524 --> 01:13:08,558
6857You think I give two shits
6858about the television stations?
6859
68601488
686101:13:08,560 --> 01:13:09,625
6862You should.
6863They make a hell of
6864
68651489
686601:13:09,627 --> 01:13:10,895
6867a lot more money
6868than you do...
6869
68701490
687101:13:10,897 --> 01:13:13,196
6872and without that revenue
6873we'll be forced to sell.
6874
68751491
687601:13:13,198 --> 01:13:15,264
6877If the government wins
6878and we're convicted...
6879
68801492
688101:13:15,266 --> 01:13:18,134
6882The Washington Post as we
6883know it will cease to exist.
6884
68851493
688601:13:18,136 --> 01:13:19,837
6887If we live in a world
6888where the government
6889
68901494
689101:13:19,839 --> 01:13:21,605
6892can tell us what we can
6893and cannot print...
6894
68951495
689601:13:21,607 --> 01:13:22,807
6897then The Washington Post
6898as we know it
6899
69001496
690101:13:22,809 --> 01:13:25,110
6902has already ceased to exist.
6903
69041497
690501:13:26,311 --> 01:13:28,014
6906What if we wait?
6907
69081498
690901:13:28,881 --> 01:13:30,981
6910What if we hold off
6911on printing today
6912
69131499
691401:13:30,983 --> 01:13:33,383
6915and instead we call
6916the Attorney General...
6917
69181500
691901:13:33,385 --> 01:13:36,152
6920and we tell him that
6921we intend to print on Sunday?
6922
69231501
692401:13:36,154 --> 01:13:37,855
6925That way we give
6926them and us time
6927
69281502
692901:13:37,857 --> 01:13:40,090
6930to figure out
6931the legality of all of it...
6932
69331503
693401:13:40,092 --> 01:13:42,593
6935while the court in New York
6936decides The Times' case.
6937
69381504
693901:13:42,595 --> 01:13:45,062
6940You're suggesting we alert
6941the Attorney General...
6942
69431505
694401:13:45,064 --> 01:13:47,330
6945to the fact that we
6946have these documents...
6947
69481506
694901:13:47,332 --> 01:13:50,236
6950that we're going to print
6951in a few days?
6952
69531507
695401:13:53,805 --> 01:13:57,007
6955Well, yes, that is the idea.
6956
69571508
695801:13:57,009 --> 01:13:58,608
6959Yeah, well...
6960
69611509
696201:13:58,610 --> 01:14:00,076
6963outside of
6964landing the Hindenburg
6965
69661510
696701:14:00,078 --> 01:14:01,445
6968in a lightning storm...
6969
69701511
697101:14:01,447 --> 01:14:03,746
6972that's about the shittiest
6973idea I've ever heard.
6974
69751512
697601:14:03,748 --> 01:14:05,117
6977Oh, boy.
6978
69791513
698001:14:12,724 --> 01:14:14,724
6981Oh, here's
6982the man of the hour.
6983
69841514
698501:14:14,726 --> 01:14:16,459
6986Kay.
6987
69881515
698901:14:16,461 --> 01:14:17,695
6990For you.
6991
69921516
699301:14:17,697 --> 01:14:18,795
6994I'm found.
6995
69961517
699701:14:18,797 --> 01:14:20,097
6998Thank you, Kay.
6999
70001518
700101:14:20,099 --> 01:14:21,263
7002You didn't have to
7003go through all this trouble.
7004
70051519
700601:14:21,265 --> 01:14:22,598
7007No, we had to turn them
7008away at the door.
7009
70101520
701101:14:22,600 --> 01:14:23,733
7012Didn't we, dear?
7013
70141521
701501:14:23,735 --> 01:14:24,867
7016- Thanks.
7017- Oh.
7018
70191522
702001:14:24,869 --> 01:14:27,036
7021- Gene.
7022- Mrs. Graham.
7023
70241523
702501:14:27,038 --> 01:14:29,272
7026So, everything okay?
7027
70281524
702901:14:29,274 --> 01:14:32,541
7030Uh, it's gotten pretty hot
7031over at Ben's house.
7032
70331525
703401:14:32,543 --> 01:14:34,945
7035Oh, things are
7036not going well?
7037
70381526
703901:14:34,947 --> 01:14:38,816
7040No. Ben and Mr. Beebe
7041are at real loggerheads.
7042
70431527
704401:14:38,818 --> 01:14:40,883
7045Fritz and Ben
7046on opposite sides?
7047
70481528
704901:14:40,885 --> 01:14:41,985
7050I made a commitment
7051to publish these papers.
7052
70531529
705401:14:41,987 --> 01:14:43,286
7055Excuse me. Pardon me.
7056
70571530
705801:14:43,288 --> 01:14:45,022
7059The whole staff will revolt,
7060if we don't publish.
7061
70621531
706301:14:45,024 --> 01:14:47,557
7064Meg, I hardly think
7065people are gonna resign.
7066
70671532
706801:14:47,559 --> 01:14:48,691
7069Enjoying the fight?
7070
70711533
707201:14:48,693 --> 01:14:50,093
7073Yeah, who's winning?
7074
70751534
707601:14:50,095 --> 01:14:52,195
7077- Nixon.
7078- I didn't see him come in.
7079
70801535
708101:14:52,197 --> 01:14:55,134
7082Really? He's got his hand
7083so far up Fritz's ass.
7084
70851536
708601:14:56,501 --> 01:14:57,903
7087Where is Fritz?
7088
70891537
709001:15:00,005 --> 01:15:02,672
7091That is not at all
7092what I'm saying. No.
7093
70941538
709501:15:02,674 --> 01:15:04,540
7096Not in so many words,
7097but you're a bunch of lawyers.
7098
70991539
710001:15:04,542 --> 01:15:05,409
7101Will you cut through the shit!
7102
71031540
710401:15:05,411 --> 01:15:06,776
7105Is the profanity necessary?
7106
71071541
710801:15:06,778 --> 01:15:07,878
7109If we're not gonna publish,
7110
71111542
711201:15:07,880 --> 01:15:09,847
7113why are we busting
7114our rear ends, Ben?
7115
71161543
711701:15:09,849 --> 01:15:11,615
7118Just keep writing.
7119
71201544
712101:15:12,917 --> 01:15:15,285
7122Can you stop
7123playing Chopsticks?
7124
71251545
712601:15:15,287 --> 01:15:17,657
7127We're not gonna get it wrong!
7128
71291546
713001:15:20,193 --> 01:15:22,061
7131What's up there, Fritz?
7132
71331547
713401:15:22,595 --> 01:15:24,928
7135Calling Kay.
7136
71371548
713801:15:24,930 --> 01:15:27,998
7139I'm sorry, Ben.
7140I know you want this.
7141
71421549
714301:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,601
7144There will be another one.
7145
71461550
714701:15:30,603 --> 01:15:32,968
7148Like hell there will be.
7149
71501551
715101:15:32,970 --> 01:15:34,804
7152Given the
7153sensitive circumstances...
7154
71551552
715601:15:34,806 --> 01:15:36,406
7157Sensitive circumstances?
7158Really?
7159
71601553
716101:15:36,408 --> 01:15:38,075
7162How would you describe it?
7163
71641554
716501:15:38,077 --> 01:15:41,044
7166Uh, well,
7167we're trying to make a story.
7168
71691555
717001:15:41,046 --> 01:15:43,580
7171Hello. Hello, I'm
7172making a telephone call.
7173
71741556
717501:15:43,582 --> 01:15:45,382
7176Yeah, well, it's my house.
7177
71781557
717901:15:45,384 --> 01:15:48,084
7180- So I'll be on the call.
7181- All right, Ben.
7182
71831558
718401:15:48,086 --> 01:15:52,722
7185I just want to thank you all
7186for coming out this evening...
7187
71881559
718901:15:52,724 --> 01:15:55,659
7190to help me launch
7191Harry Gladstein...
7192
71931560
719401:15:55,661 --> 01:15:57,828
7195and his new sailboat...
7196
71971561
719801:15:57,830 --> 01:16:00,265
7199into the Chesapeake Bay.
7200
72011562
720201:16:01,867 --> 01:16:05,436
7203And into his
7204very well earned retirement.
7205
72061563
720701:16:05,438 --> 01:16:07,538
7208Let me just tell you
7209a little bit about
7210
72111564
721201:16:07,540 --> 01:16:09,940
7213why I'm so wild about Harry.
7214
72151565
721601:16:09,942 --> 01:16:12,942
7217Mrs. Graham.
7218It's Mr. Beebe on the phone.
7219
72201566
722101:16:12,944 --> 01:16:16,013
7222In 1949, wasn't it?
7223
72241567
722501:16:16,015 --> 01:16:19,682
7226Uh, Phil Graham first brought
7227Harry to the company.
7228
72291568
723001:16:19,684 --> 01:16:22,652
7231- I'm afraid they need you now.
7232- And I remember, he told me...
7233
72341569
723501:16:22,654 --> 01:16:23,954
7236Mrs. Graham.
7237
72381570
723901:16:23,956 --> 01:16:25,558
7240They need you now.
7241
72421571
724301:16:27,893 --> 01:16:31,195
7244Oh, dear. I'm so sorry.
7245
72461572
724701:16:31,197 --> 01:16:33,129
7248- Forgive me, Harry.
7249- Yeah.
7250
72511573
725201:16:33,131 --> 01:16:35,097
7253I think I'll have to suspend.
7254
72551574
725601:16:35,099 --> 01:16:37,433
7257Well, you're paying
7258the overtime.
7259
72601575
726101:16:37,435 --> 01:16:39,803
7262I'll be right back.
7263
72641576
726501:16:39,805 --> 01:16:41,541
7266I'm so sorry, Mrs. Graham.
7267
72681577
726901:16:41,907 --> 01:16:43,374
7270Yeah.
7271
72721578
727301:16:43,376 --> 01:16:44,642
7274We should wait.
7275
72761579
727701:16:44,644 --> 01:16:48,381
7278Yeah, I understand, Ben,
7279but if you wait a day...
7280
72811580
728201:16:49,480 --> 01:16:52,215
7283- Fritz on the phone for me?
7284- We should be on this call.
7285
72861581
728701:16:52,217 --> 01:16:54,550
7288Well, there's an extension
7289in the living room.
7290
72911582
729201:16:54,552 --> 01:16:57,622
7293Liz, show them where, please?
7294Thank you.
7295
72961583
729701:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,031
7298Hello, Fritz?
7299
73001584
730101:17:09,033 --> 01:17:11,434
7302Hello, Kay. Would you like me
7303to catch you up?
7304
73051585
730601:17:11,436 --> 01:17:12,770
7307I say we can,
7308he says we can't.
7309
73101586
731101:17:12,772 --> 01:17:13,904
7312There, you're caught up.
7313
73141587
731501:17:13,906 --> 01:17:15,539
7316- Ben...
7317- Hello, it's Art.
7318
73191588
732001:17:15,541 --> 01:17:18,275
7321Well, Ben,
7322there are concerns here
7323
73241589
732501:17:18,277 --> 01:17:20,309
7326that are frankly
7327above your pay grade.
7328
73291590
733001:17:20,311 --> 01:17:22,045
7331Well, there's
7332a few above yours, Art,
7333
73341591
733501:17:22,047 --> 01:17:23,414
7336like fucking freedom
7337of the press.
7338
73391592
734001:17:23,416 --> 01:17:25,316
7341Let's just be civil if we can.
7342
73431593
734401:17:25,318 --> 01:17:27,349
7345Do you think
7346Nixon is going to be civil?
7347
73481594
734901:17:27,351 --> 01:17:30,087
7350He is trying to censor the
7351goddamn New York Times.
7352
73531595
735401:17:30,089 --> 01:17:31,821
7355Yes, The Times, not The Post.
7356
73571596
735801:17:31,823 --> 01:17:33,456
7359It's the same damn thing.
7360
73611597
736201:17:33,458 --> 01:17:37,427
7363This is an historic fight.
7364If they lose, we lose.
7365
73661598
736701:17:37,429 --> 01:17:39,295
7368Hello? Is someone
7369on the phone?
7370
73711599
737201:17:39,297 --> 01:17:40,731
7373This is Phil.
7374
73751600
737601:17:40,733 --> 01:17:42,365
7377Is that Phil Geyelin?
7378
73791601
738001:17:42,367 --> 01:17:44,602
7381Uh, yes, Mrs. Graham.
7382
73831602
738401:17:44,604 --> 01:17:47,170
7385Good. I'd like you to weigh in
7386if you would...
7387
73881603
738901:17:47,172 --> 01:17:48,370
7390because I wanna know
7391
73921604
739301:17:48,372 --> 01:17:50,507
7394what the staff
7395is feeling about this.
7396
73971605
739801:17:50,509 --> 01:17:53,276
7399Uh, well,
7400frankly Mrs. Graham...
7401
74021606
740301:17:53,278 --> 01:17:55,279
7404Ben Bagdikian and Chal Roberts
7405
74061607
740701:17:55,281 --> 01:17:58,013
7408have, uh, both
7409threatened to resign...
7410
74111608
741201:17:58,015 --> 01:18:00,183
7413if we don't publish, that is.
7414
74151609
741601:18:00,185 --> 01:18:01,651
7417Come on, Kay,
7418what do you expect?
7419
74201610
742101:18:01,653 --> 01:18:02,518
7422They got nothing to lose.
7423
74241611
742501:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,120
7426Due respect,
7427we all have everything
7428
74291612
743001:18:04,122 --> 01:18:05,522
7431to lose if we don't publish.
7432
74331613
743401:18:05,524 --> 01:18:08,392
7435What will happen to the
7436reputation of this paper?
7437
74381614
743901:18:08,394 --> 01:18:10,593
7440Everyone will find out
7441we had the study.
7442
74431615
744401:18:10,595 --> 01:18:12,629
7445Hell, I bet half the town
7446knows already.
7447
74481616
744901:18:12,631 --> 01:18:14,798
7450What will it look like
7451if we sit on our asses?
7452
74531617
745401:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,400
7455It'll look like
7456we were prudent.
7457
74581618
745901:18:16,402 --> 01:18:18,134
7460It will look like
7461we were afraid!
7462
74631619
746401:18:18,136 --> 01:18:21,271
7465We will lose! The country
7466will lose! Nixon wins!
7467
74681620
746901:18:21,273 --> 01:18:23,139
7470Nixon wins this one,
7471and the next one...
7472
74731621
747401:18:23,141 --> 01:18:25,107
7475and all the ones after that,
7476because we were scared.
7477
74781622
747901:18:25,109 --> 01:18:26,375
7480Because the only way to assert
7481
74821623
748301:18:26,377 --> 01:18:28,648
7484the right to publish
7485is to publish.
7486
74871624
748801:18:33,452 --> 01:18:34,651
7489Fritz.
7490
74911625
749201:18:34,653 --> 01:18:36,855
7493Is Fritz there?
7494
74951626
749601:18:38,689 --> 01:18:41,090
7497Fritz, are you on?
7498
74991627
750001:18:41,092 --> 01:18:43,095
7501I'm here, Kay.
7502
75031628
750401:18:45,864 --> 01:18:48,100
7505What do you think?
7506
75071629
750801:18:49,367 --> 01:18:52,538
7509What do you think I should do?
7510
75111630
751201:18:54,540 --> 01:18:56,507
7513I think...
7514
75151631
751601:18:56,509 --> 01:18:59,442
7517there are arguments
7518on both sides.
7519
75201632
752101:18:59,444 --> 01:19:00,446
7522Yeah.
7523
75241633
752501:19:02,948 --> 01:19:05,151
7526But I guess
7527I wouldn't publish.
7528
75291634
753001:19:28,140 --> 01:19:30,540
7531Let's go.
7532Let's do it.
7533
75341635
753501:19:30,542 --> 01:19:34,779
7536Let's go. Let's go, let's go.
7537Let's publish.
7538
75391636
754001:19:38,884 --> 01:19:40,616
7541- What?
7542- Phil?
7543
75441637
754501:19:40,618 --> 01:19:42,287
7546What'd she say?
7547
75481638
754901:19:42,955 --> 01:19:44,524
7550We go.
7551
75521639
755301:19:46,224 --> 01:19:48,291
7554She says, we publish.
7555
75561640
755701:19:49,360 --> 01:19:50,427
7558- Hot damn.
7559- My God.
7560
75611641
756201:19:50,429 --> 01:19:52,228
7563- Holy shit.
7564- Let's get this out.
7565
75661642
756701:19:52,230 --> 01:19:54,197
7568Holy shit.
7569
75701643
757101:19:54,199 --> 01:19:55,465
7572- I need that, Meg.
7573- Sorry.
7574
75751644
757601:19:55,467 --> 01:19:56,733
7577Whoa, whoa, whoa!
7578Hold your horses.
7579
75801645
758101:19:56,735 --> 01:19:57,968
7582- I need the notes!
7583- Sorry.
7584

7588- 13.
7589
75901647
759101:19:59,337 --> 01:20:00,971
7592We got two hours to get it
7593to the composing room.
7594

7602All right.
7603

760501:20:05,577 --> 01:20:06,910
7606- Wait, wait, wait.
7607- Who's taking it?
7608

7611I got it.

7634
76351657
763601:20:15,488 --> 01:20:18,053
7637- Ben?
7638- Yeah? Thanks.
7639
76401658
764101:20:18,055 --> 01:20:20,324
7642Good job, Murrey.
7643

764501:20:26,832 --> 01:20:29,098
7646- That it?
7647- That's it.
7648
76491660
765001:20:39,244 --> 01:20:41,680
7651You... You got half an hour.
7652
76531661
765401:20:52,625 --> 01:20:55,124
7655I'm not sure how much thought
7656
76571662
765801:20:55,126 --> 01:20:56,825
7659you've put
7660into this decision...
7661
76621663
766301:20:56,827 --> 01:20:57,761
7664but we still have time.
7665
76661664
766701:20:57,763 --> 01:20:59,596
7668The print deadline
7669is not 'til midnight.
7670
76711665
767201:20:59,598 --> 01:21:01,731
7673I know when the
7674print deadline is.
7675
76761666
767701:21:01,733 --> 01:21:03,700
7678Look, I'm still learning
7679how to do this,
7680
76811667
768201:21:03,702 --> 01:21:05,302
7683but everything
7684I know about business...
7685
76861668
768701:21:05,304 --> 01:21:07,803
7688tells me you're making
7689a serious mistake here.
7690
76911669
769201:21:07,805 --> 01:21:09,672
7693One that will cost you
7694and your paper dearly,
7695
76961670
769701:21:09,674 --> 01:21:11,674
7698and hurt every person
7699gathered here.
7700
77011671
770201:21:11,676 --> 01:21:14,444
7703Not to mention, the hundreds
7704of others who work for you.
7705
77061672
770701:21:14,446 --> 01:21:16,446
7708I'm just trying to put
7709my thoughts together.
7710
77111673
771201:21:16,448 --> 01:21:19,014
7713Kay, all I want is
7714what is best
7715
77161674
771701:21:19,016 --> 01:21:20,950
7718for you and your business.
7719
77201675
772101:21:20,952 --> 01:21:23,852
7722But I just got off the phone
7723with a couple of bankers...
7724
77251676
772601:21:23,854 --> 01:21:26,990
7727and they think it's possible,
7728likely even...
7729
77301677
773101:21:26,992 --> 01:21:29,625
7732that a number of their
7733institutional investors...
7734
77351678
773601:21:29,627 --> 01:21:31,727
7737will pull out
7738if you go ahead and publish.
7739
77401679
774101:21:31,729 --> 01:21:35,267
7742And if they pull out, Kay...
7743
77441680
774501:21:36,201 --> 01:21:38,604
7746You got a couple of hours.
7747
77481681
774901:21:39,037 --> 01:21:40,270
7750For your sake,
7751
77521682
775301:21:40,272 --> 01:21:42,438
7754and for the sake of every one
7755of your employees...
7756
77571683
775801:21:42,440 --> 01:21:44,376
7759I hope you will reconsider.
7760
77611684
776201:21:51,783 --> 01:21:53,518
7763Give me the canister.
7764
77651685
776601:21:59,091 --> 01:22:00,257
7767Get it downstairs...
7768
77691686
777001:22:00,259 --> 01:22:02,125
7771and I want the page editor
7772standing over Lino
7773
77741687
777501:22:02,127 --> 01:22:03,660
7776'til they got it
7777ready to print.
7778
77791688
778001:22:03,662 --> 01:22:04,664
7781Okay.
7782
77831689
778401:22:08,233 --> 01:22:09,968
7785Mr. Bagdikian.
7786
77871690
778801:22:15,241 --> 01:22:17,706
7789I need to know your source.
7790
77911691
779201:22:17,708 --> 01:22:20,442
7793I thought I was clear earlier.
7794
77951692
779601:22:20,444 --> 01:22:22,779
7797Well, we weren't
7798going to press earlier.
7799
78001693
780101:22:22,781 --> 01:22:25,548
7802Yeah, well,
7803my answer's the same.
7804
78051694
780601:22:25,550 --> 01:22:27,584
7807"This action has been
7808commenced to enjoin

7812"The New York Times
7813and their agents...
7814

7822"certain alleged
7823top secret documents."
7824
78251698
782601:22:32,623 --> 01:22:34,691
7827Are you trying
7828to piss me off?
7829
78301699
783101:22:34,693 --> 01:22:36,526
7832No. Not me.
7833Judge Gurfein.
7834
78351700
783601:22:36,528 --> 01:22:38,460
7837If you look at the text
7838of his restraining order...
7839
78401701
784101:22:38,462 --> 01:22:40,563
7842I read his restraining order.
7843
78441702
784501:22:40,565 --> 01:22:42,566
7846So then you know that if
7847The Times was your source...
7848
78491703
785001:22:42,568 --> 01:22:44,233
7851we would be in
7852direct violation...
7853
78541704
785501:22:44,235 --> 01:22:47,170
7856I did not get the study
7857from The Times.
7858
78591705
786001:22:47,172 --> 01:22:48,373
7861You're sure?
7862
78631706
786401:22:49,207 --> 01:22:50,776
7865We done?
7866
78671707
786801:22:54,278 --> 01:22:56,748
7869Did you get it
7870from their source?
7871
78721708
787301:23:03,689 --> 01:23:05,124
7874Excuse me?
7875
78761709
787701:23:08,025 --> 01:23:10,125
7878Did you get the study
7879
78801710
788101:23:10,127 --> 01:23:12,797
7882from the same source
7883as The Times?
7884
78851711
788601:23:15,134 --> 01:23:18,601
7887We do not reveal
7888our sources.
7889
78901712
789101:23:18,603 --> 01:23:20,637
7892"This action has been

7899
79001714
790101:23:22,506 --> 01:23:24,109
7902I get it!
7903I get it!
7904
79051715
790601:23:27,645 --> 01:23:30,013
7907If you got the study
7908from the same source
7909
79101716
791101:23:30,015 --> 01:23:31,748
7912that would
7913amount to collusion.
7914
79151717
791601:23:31,750 --> 01:23:34,854
7917Yeah, we could
7918all be executed at dawn.
7919
79201718
792101:23:35,854 --> 01:23:38,989
7922And we could be held
7923in contempt of court...
7924
79251719
792601:23:38,991 --> 01:23:42,728
7927which means Mr. Bradlee and
7928Mrs. Graham could go to jail.
7929
79301720
793101:23:46,431 --> 01:23:48,466
7932Mr. Bagdikian...
7933
79341721
793501:23:49,467 --> 01:23:52,936
7936how likely is it
7937that your source...
7938
79391722
794001:23:52,938 --> 01:23:55,841
7941and The Times source
7942are the same person?
7943
79441723
794501:23:57,442 --> 01:23:59,444
7946It's likely.
7947
79481724
794901:24:00,946 --> 01:24:02,614
7950How likely?
7951
79521725
795301:24:04,882 --> 01:24:06,682
7954Very.
7955
79561726
795701:24:06,684 --> 01:24:08,754
7958- It's very likely.
7959- Yes.
7960
79611727
796201:24:19,898 --> 01:24:22,065
7963What is all this?
7964
79651728
796601:24:22,067 --> 01:24:24,867
7967Lemonade earnings.
7968
79691729
797001:24:24,869 --> 01:24:28,103
7971Marina wanted me to
7972put it away for safekeeping.
7973
79741730
797501:24:28,105 --> 01:24:29,442
7976Oh, wow.
7977
79781731
797901:24:34,144 --> 01:24:35,980
7980We're publishing.
7981
79821732
798301:24:39,684 --> 01:24:40,819
7984Wow.
7985
79861733
798701:24:43,388 --> 01:24:45,824
7988I didn't think Kay'd do it.
7989
79901734
799101:24:48,460 --> 01:24:50,927
7992That's brave.
7993
79941735
799501:24:50,929 --> 01:24:53,897
7996Well, she's not the only one
7997who's brave.
7998
79991736
800001:24:53,899 --> 01:24:55,164
8001Oh.
8002
80031737
800401:24:55,166 --> 01:24:57,299
8005What have you got to lose?
8006
80071738
800801:24:57,301 --> 01:24:59,035
8009Uh, my job.
8010
80111739
801201:24:59,037 --> 01:25:00,437
8013My reputation.
8014
80151740
801601:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,141
8017Oh, Ben, please.
8018
80191741
802001:25:03,308 --> 01:25:05,441
8021We both know
8022this will do nothing
8023
80241742
802501:25:05,443 --> 01:25:08,445
8026but burnish your reputation.
8027
80281743
802901:25:08,447 --> 01:25:10,313
8030And as for your job...
8031
80321744
803301:25:10,315 --> 01:25:12,585
8034you can always
8035find another one.
8036
80371745
803801:25:13,618 --> 01:25:16,852
8039Now, if you're trying to
8040make me feel better...
8041
80421746
804301:25:16,854 --> 01:25:19,791
8044there's nicer ways
8045of doing it.
8046
80471747
804801:25:21,225 --> 01:25:23,228
8049You're very brave.
8050
80511748
805201:25:25,197 --> 01:25:27,830
8053But Kay...
8054
80551749
805601:25:27,832 --> 01:25:32,369
8057Kay is in a position
8058she never thought she'd be in.
8059
80601750
806101:25:32,371 --> 01:25:34,337
8062A position
8063I'm sure plenty of people
8064
80651751
806601:25:34,339 --> 01:25:37,106
8067don't think she should have.
8068
80691752
807001:25:37,108 --> 01:25:39,409
8071And when you're told
8072time and time again
8073
80741753
807501:25:39,411 --> 01:25:41,477
8076that you're not good enough.
8077
80781754
807901:25:41,479 --> 01:25:44,947
8080That your opinion
8081doesn't matter as much.
8082
80831755
808401:25:44,949 --> 01:25:48,651
8085When they don't
8086just look past you.
8087
80881756
808901:25:48,653 --> 01:25:52,589
8090When, to them,
8091you're not even there.
8092
80931757
809401:25:52,591 --> 01:25:54,757
8095When that's been your
8096reality for so long...
8097
80981758
809901:25:54,759 --> 01:25:57,796
8100it's hard not to let
8101yourself think it's true.
8102
81031759
810401:25:58,764 --> 01:26:01,998
8105So, to make this decision...
8106
81071760
810801:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,733
8109to risk her fortune
8110and the company
8111
81121761
811301:26:04,735 --> 01:26:07,206
8114that's been her entire life...
8115
81161762
811701:26:08,540 --> 01:26:10,775
8118well, I think that's brave.
8119
81201763
812101:26:17,149 --> 01:26:18,014
8122Bradlee.
8123
81241764
812501:26:18,016 --> 01:26:20,685
8126Ben, we got a problem.
8127
81281765
812901:26:31,229 --> 01:26:33,098
8130You remember this?
8131
81321766
813301:26:34,966 --> 01:26:37,034
8134- The day before the funeral.
8135- Yeah.
8136
81371767
813801:26:37,036 --> 01:26:38,237
8139Wasn't it?
8140
81411768
814201:26:39,004 --> 01:26:40,171
8143Yeah.
8144
81451769
814601:26:41,707 --> 01:26:42,839
8147I didn't...
8148
81491770
815001:26:42,841 --> 01:26:45,508
8151I didn't wanna do it...
8152
81531771
815401:26:45,510 --> 01:26:48,011
8155but Fritz said
8156I should go in...
8157
81581772
815901:26:48,013 --> 01:26:50,716
8160and say a few words
8161to the Board.
8162
81631773
816401:26:52,951 --> 01:26:55,951
8165So, I tried
8166to rehearse something...
8167
81681774
816901:26:55,953 --> 01:26:58,321
8170but it all
8171turned out so awful,
8172
81731775
817401:26:58,323 --> 01:26:59,556
8175and before I knew it...
8176
81771776
817801:26:59,558 --> 01:27:01,223
8179the car was there
8180ready to take me
8181
81821777
818301:27:01,225 --> 01:27:02,795
8184and then you came out.
8185
81861778
818701:27:03,528 --> 01:27:05,261
8188I remember.
8189
81901779
819101:27:05,263 --> 01:27:06,529
8192You came out in
8193
81941780
819501:27:06,531 --> 01:27:08,964
8196your little nightgown
8197and your robe.
8198
81991781
820001:27:08,966 --> 01:27:11,467
8201And you hopped
8202in the car with me.
8203
82041782
820501:27:11,469 --> 01:27:14,070
8206Gave me this.
8207
82081783
820901:27:14,072 --> 01:27:18,874
8210Somehow you managed to
8211scribble these notes for me.
8212
82131784
821401:27:18,876 --> 01:27:22,145
8215So I'd know what to say.
8216
82171785
821801:27:22,147 --> 01:27:25,115
8219But I don't
8220have my glasses up here.
8221
82221786
822301:27:25,117 --> 01:27:27,749
8224- So, just read it for me.
8225- Mummy...
8226
82271787
822801:27:27,751 --> 01:27:29,988
8229Oh, come on, just...
8230Would you read it to me?
8231
82321788
823301:27:34,792 --> 01:27:37,526
8234"One, thank them.
8235
82361789
823701:27:37,528 --> 01:27:40,562
8238"Two, there has been a crisis,
8239
82401790
824101:27:40,564 --> 01:27:42,499
8242"but you know
8243they will carry on.
8244
82451791
824601:27:42,501 --> 01:27:45,838
8247"Three, never expected
8248to be in this...
8249
82501792
825101:27:47,072 --> 01:27:49,237
8252"situation.
8253
82541793
825501:27:49,239 --> 01:27:54,578
8256"Four, going off to clear mind
8257and think about the future.
8258
82591794
826001:27:54,580 --> 01:27:57,147
8261"Five, no changes
8262at this time,
8263
82641795
826501:27:57,149 --> 01:27:59,749
8266"paper will remain
8267in the family.
8268
82691796
827001:27:59,751 --> 01:28:03,018
8271"And six, and be carried on
8272in the tradition...
8273
82741797
827501:28:03,020 --> 01:28:05,522
8276- "so well set."
8277- So well set.
8278
82791798
828001:28:06,891 --> 01:28:10,625
8281You know, I just wanted
8282to hold on to the company...
8283
82841799
828501:28:10,627 --> 01:28:13,228
8286for you and Don
8287and Billy and Steve.
8288
82891800
829001:28:13,230 --> 01:28:15,130
8291You did. You have.
8292
82931801
829401:28:15,132 --> 01:28:16,702
8295Well...
8296
82971802
829801:28:18,836 --> 01:28:20,973
8299You know that quote?
8300
83011803
830201:28:22,608 --> 01:28:24,039
8303That quote...
8304
83051804
830601:28:24,041 --> 01:28:29,512
8307"A woman preaching is like a
8308dog walking on its hind legs.
8309
83101805
831101:28:29,514 --> 01:28:31,112
8312"It's not done well...
8313
83141806
831501:28:31,114 --> 01:28:35,787
8316"and you're surprised to see
8317it's done at all."
8318
83191807
832001:28:36,587 --> 01:28:37,919
8321Samuel Johnson.
8322
83231808
832401:28:37,921 --> 01:28:39,589
8325- Oh, Mummy.
8326- Yeah.
8327
83281809
832901:28:39,591 --> 01:28:41,124
8330Well, it's a bunch
8331of nonsense.
8332
83331810
833401:28:41,126 --> 01:28:44,363
8335No, but that's the way
8336we all thought then...
8337
83381811
833901:28:45,129 --> 01:28:46,763
8340you know?
8341
83421812
834301:28:46,765 --> 01:28:50,402
8344I was never
8345supposed to be in this job.
8346
83471813
834801:28:52,069 --> 01:28:56,472
8349When my father chose your dad
8350to run the company...
8351
83521814
835301:28:56,474 --> 01:28:59,174
8354I thought it was the most
8355natural thing in the world.
8356
83571815
835801:28:59,176 --> 01:29:01,677
8359I was so proud,
8360because you know...
8361
83621816
836301:29:01,679 --> 01:29:05,717
8364Phil was so brilliant.
8365And he was...
8366
83671817
836801:29:09,086 --> 01:29:11,920
8369so gifted...
8370
83711818
837201:29:11,922 --> 01:29:14,857
8373But I thought that was the way
8374it was supposed to be.
8375
83761819
837701:29:14,859 --> 01:29:17,962
8378Everybody thought
8379that way then.
8380
83811820
838201:29:18,863 --> 01:29:21,467
8383And I was raising you kids...
8384
83851821
838601:29:23,635 --> 01:29:27,803
8387and I was happy in my life.
8388
83891822
839001:29:27,805 --> 01:29:30,108
8391The way it was.
8392
83931823
839401:29:32,344 --> 01:29:36,081
8395But then when it
8396all fell apart, you know...
8397
83981824
839901:29:39,951 --> 01:29:42,852
8400When Phil died, it was just...
8401
84021825
840301:29:42,854 --> 01:29:46,222
8404I was 45 years old
8405and I had never held...
8406
84071826
840801:29:46,224 --> 01:29:50,028
8409I'd never had to
8410hold a job in my life.
8411
84121827
841301:29:51,996 --> 01:29:55,365
8414But I just, I loved the paper,
8415you know...
8416
84171828
841801:29:55,367 --> 01:29:56,869
8419I do.
8420
84211829
842201:29:57,635 --> 01:29:59,035
8423I do so love the paper.
8424
84251830
842601:29:59,037 --> 01:30:01,169
8427I don't want it
8428to be my fault.
8429
84301831
843101:30:01,171 --> 01:30:02,540
8432I don't want
8433to be the one who...
8434
84351832
843601:30:03,809 --> 01:30:08,011
8437I don't wanna
8438let Phil and my father...
8439
84401833
844101:30:08,013 --> 01:30:11,416
8442and all of you kids
8443and everybody down.
8444
84451834
844601:30:12,817 --> 01:30:14,453
8447Mrs. Graham?
8448
84491835
845001:30:23,127 --> 01:30:25,397
8451- You ran here?
8452- Yeah.
8453
84541836
845501:30:27,098 --> 01:30:29,464
8456There's been a bit of a...
8457
84581837
845901:30:29,466 --> 01:30:31,068
8460complication.
8461
84621838
846301:30:32,170 --> 01:30:33,770
8464I didn't understand at first,
8465
84661839
846701:30:33,772 --> 01:30:35,371
8468but now everything
8469is in a different light.
8470
84711840
847201:30:35,373 --> 01:30:39,342
8473Our source might be the same
8474as The New York Times.
8475
84761841
847701:30:39,344 --> 01:30:40,345
8478Okay.
8479
84801842
848101:30:41,179 --> 01:30:44,112
8482If so, we could be
8483held in contempt.
8484
84851843
848601:30:44,114 --> 01:30:45,882
8487Meaning?
8488
84891844
849001:30:45,884 --> 01:30:48,287
8491Well, we could
8492all go to prison.
8493
84941845
849501:30:51,022 --> 01:30:53,091
8496Now putting that aside...
8497
84981846
849901:30:54,192 --> 01:30:57,229
8500Katharine,
8501I've come to realize...
8502
85031847
850401:30:58,596 --> 01:31:01,567
8505just how much
8506you have at stake.
8507
85081848
850901:31:29,860 --> 01:31:31,460
8510- Paul.
8511- Glad you're here.
8512
85131849
851401:31:31,462 --> 01:31:32,762
8515Fritz is sitting
8516with Mrs. Graham now.
8517
85181850
851901:31:32,764 --> 01:31:33,830
8520And Ben is here.
8521
85221851
852301:31:33,832 --> 01:31:35,868
8524Yes, I figured he would be.
8525
85261852
852701:31:59,291 --> 01:32:00,656
8528Jesus Christ.
8529
85301853
853101:32:00,658 --> 01:32:01,891
8532Mr. Bradlee, if you knew
8533
85341854
853501:32:01,893 --> 01:32:03,025
8536Mr. Bagdikian
8537received the study...
8538
85391855
854001:32:03,027 --> 01:32:04,326
8541from the same source
8542as The Times...
8543
85441856
854501:32:04,328 --> 01:32:06,195
8546I didn't know because
8547I'm not in the habit...
8548
85491857
855001:32:06,197 --> 01:32:07,830
8551of asking my reporters
8552who their sources are...
8553
85541858
855501:32:07,832 --> 01:32:09,065
8556and if you'd spent any time
8557
85581859
855901:32:09,067 --> 01:32:10,298
8560at a real goddamn newspaper
8561you'd know why.
8562
85631860
856401:32:10,300 --> 01:32:12,103
8565You understand he's trying
8566to help you, Ben?
8567
85681861
856901:32:12,738 --> 01:32:14,606
8570Mrs. Graham, hi.
8571
85721862
857301:32:15,306 --> 01:32:16,406
8574We can all...
8575
85761863
857701:32:16,408 --> 01:32:19,107
8578We can all appreciate
8579why Ben wants to publish...
8580
85811864
858201:32:19,109 --> 01:32:20,910
8583and if these papers had
8584come from someone else...
8585
85861865
858701:32:20,912 --> 01:32:23,248
8588we might have been
8589able to skirt the issue.
8590
85911866
859201:32:24,349 --> 01:32:25,914
8593Anything from
8594the folks upstairs?
8595
85961867
859701:32:25,916 --> 01:32:27,048
8598No.
8599
86001868
860101:32:27,050 --> 01:32:28,450
8602We gotta start the run
8603
86041869
860501:32:28,452 --> 01:32:31,422
8606or we won't get
8607to the carriers on time.
8608
86091870
861001:32:34,824 --> 01:32:36,392
8611I disagreed with you earlier,
8612
86131871
861401:32:36,394 --> 01:32:38,227
8615but I thought it brave.
8616But this?
8617
86181872
861901:32:38,229 --> 01:32:39,829
8620If we were
8621to publish knowing this,
8622
86231873
862401:32:39,831 --> 01:32:41,629
8625it would just
8626be irresponsible.
8627
86281874
862901:32:41,631 --> 01:32:44,365
8630Fritz, do you agree?
8631
86321875
863301:32:44,367 --> 01:32:46,803
8634Well, I don't particularly
8635like the idea
8636
86371876
863801:32:46,805 --> 01:32:49,539
8639of Kay as a convicted felon.
8640
86411877
864201:32:49,541 --> 01:32:51,339
8643And then there's the
8644issue of the prospectus.
8645
86461878
864701:32:51,341 --> 01:32:52,775
8648Based on
8649the conversations I've had
8650
86511879
865201:32:52,777 --> 01:32:54,009
8653with my friends at Cravath...
8654
86551880
865601:32:54,011 --> 01:32:55,445
8657I believe
8658a criminal indictment
8659
86601881
866101:32:55,447 --> 01:32:58,013
8662would qualify
8663as a catastrophic event.
8664
86651882
866601:32:58,015 --> 01:33:01,219
8667And given the likelihood
8668of indictment now...
8669
86701883
867101:33:02,787 --> 01:33:03,919
8672Kay, it could...
8673
86741884
867501:33:03,921 --> 01:33:06,458
8676Yes, I understand.
8677
86781885
867901:33:07,893 --> 01:33:11,160
8680We have a responsibility
8681to the company...
8682
86831886
868401:33:11,162 --> 01:33:12,361
8685to all the employees
8686
86871887
868801:33:12,363 --> 01:33:14,699
8689and to the long-term health
8690of the paper.
8691
86921888
869301:33:15,500 --> 01:33:17,135
8694Absolutely, Kay.
8695
86961889
869701:33:20,171 --> 01:33:23,208
8698Yes. However, um...
8699
87001890
870101:33:31,082 --> 01:33:33,482
8702The prospectus
8703also talks about...
8704
87051891
870601:33:33,484 --> 01:33:36,553
8707the mission
8708of the paper, which is...
8709
87101892
871101:33:36,555 --> 01:33:38,187
8712"outstanding news collection
8713
87141893
871501:33:38,189 --> 01:33:40,190
8716"and reporting,"
8717isn't that right?
8718
87191894
872001:33:40,192 --> 01:33:41,257
8721Yes.
8722
87231895
872401:33:41,259 --> 01:33:42,157
8725And...
8726
87271896
872801:33:42,159 --> 01:33:44,759
8729And it also says...
8730
87311897
873201:33:44,761 --> 01:33:45,962
8733that the newspaper will
8734
87351898
873601:33:45,964 --> 01:33:48,197
8737"be dedicated to the welfare
8738of the nation...
8739
87401899
874101:33:48,199 --> 01:33:51,066
8742"and to the, uh, principles
8743of a free press..."
8744
87451900
874601:33:51,068 --> 01:33:52,468
8747Yes, but...
8748
87491901
875001:33:52,470 --> 01:33:57,071
8751So, one could argue that the
8752bankers were put on notice.
8753
87541902
875501:33:57,073 --> 01:33:59,508
8756But Kay, these are
8757extraordinary circumstances.
8758
87591903
876001:33:59,510 --> 01:34:02,512
8761Are they? Are they?
8762For a newspaper?
8763
87641904
876501:34:02,514 --> 01:34:05,147
8766One that covers
8767the Nixon White House.
8768
87691905
877001:34:05,149 --> 01:34:07,983
8771Can you guarantee me that
8772we could go to print...
8773
87741906
877501:34:07,985 --> 01:34:09,817
8776without endangering
8777any of our soldiers?
8778
87791907
878001:34:09,819 --> 01:34:11,254
8781You can't be considering...
8782
87831908
878401:34:11,256 --> 01:34:13,792
8785I'm talking
8786to Mr. Bradlee now.
8787
87881909
878901:34:17,627 --> 01:34:20,062
8790Fritz, you're not gonna
8791let her do this.
8792
87931910
879401:34:20,064 --> 01:34:21,196
8795She can't go to...
8796
87971911
879801:34:21,198 --> 01:34:23,031
8799No, now, she can, Arthur.
8800
88011912
880201:34:23,033 --> 01:34:24,467
8803And it's entirely
8804her decision.
8805
88061913
880701:34:24,469 --> 01:34:27,137
8808Kay, you're allowing
8809Mr. Bradlee...
8810
88111914
881201:34:27,139 --> 01:34:29,004
8813to lead you to folly.
8814
88151915
881601:34:29,006 --> 01:34:30,638
8817The legacy of the company
8818is at stake
8819
88201916
882101:34:30,640 --> 01:34:33,209
8822and if you want
8823to protect that legacy...
8824
88251917
882601:34:33,211 --> 01:34:35,044
8827This company's
8828been in my life...
8829
88301918
883101:34:35,046 --> 01:34:36,210
8832for longer
8833than most of the people
8834
88351919
883601:34:36,212 --> 01:34:37,612
8837working there have been alive.
8838
88391920
884001:34:37,614 --> 01:34:40,786
8841So, I don't need
8842the lecture on legacy.
8843
88441921
884501:34:42,453 --> 01:34:46,522
8846And this is no longer
8847my father's company.
8848
88491922
885001:34:46,524 --> 01:34:48,892
8851It's no longer
8852my husband's company.
8853
88541923
885501:34:48,894 --> 01:34:51,026
8856It's my company.
8857
88581924
885901:34:51,028 --> 01:34:52,928
8860And anyone
8861who thinks otherwise...
8862
88631925
886401:34:52,930 --> 01:34:56,132
8865probably doesn't belong
8866on my board.
8867
88681926
886901:34:56,134 --> 01:34:58,401
8870Can you guarantee me
8871that we can go to...
8872
88731927
887401:34:58,403 --> 01:34:59,701
8875100%!
8876
88771928
887801:34:59,703 --> 01:35:02,004
8879All right, then.
8880
88811929
888201:35:02,006 --> 01:35:04,408
8883My decision stands...
8884
88851930
888601:35:06,978 --> 01:35:08,814
8887and I'm going to bed.
8888
88891931
889001:35:24,828 --> 01:35:26,629
8891It's Ben Bradlee.
8892Run it.
8893
88941932
889501:35:26,631 --> 01:35:27,830
8896Yes, sir.
8897
88981933
889901:35:27,832 --> 01:35:29,501
8900Start it up.
8901
89021934
890301:36:44,641 --> 01:36:48,244
8904Let's go! Let's go!
8905
89061935
890701:36:48,246 --> 01:36:50,946
8908This is not a party,
8909this is a war here!
8910
89111936
891201:37:03,359 --> 01:37:05,628
8913I've got the
8914Assistant Attorney General.
8915
89161937
891701:37:05,630 --> 01:37:06,898
8918Put him on.
8919
89201938
892101:37:08,099 --> 01:37:09,898
8922- Good morning.
8923- Good morning.
8924
89251939
892601:37:09,900 --> 01:37:10,967
8927This is William Rehnquist

8932of Legal Counsel at Justice.
8933
89341941
893501:37:13,270 --> 01:37:14,570
8936Yes, sir.
8937
89381942

8940Mr. Bradlee,

9032I appreciate your time.
9033
90341962
903501:38:08,893 --> 01:38:10,125
9036What's next?
9037
90381963
903901:38:10,127 --> 01:38:12,593
9040We're going to court. Today.
9041
90421964
904301:38:12,595 --> 01:38:15,798
9044If we get a ruling in our
9045favor, or The Times does...
9046
90471965
904801:38:15,800 --> 01:38:19,371
9049we'll be at the Supreme Court
9050sometime next week.
9051
90521966
905301:38:30,613 --> 01:38:31,681
9054No, I wanna make sure
9055all the dates

9060between sixth...
9061
90621968
906301:38:32,983 --> 01:38:34,385
9064We're focusing on Johnson...
9065
90661969
906701:38:36,520 --> 01:38:38,087
9068I don't want any more articles
9069
90701970
907101:38:38,089 --> 01:38:39,858
9072just about shoes
9073and about dresses.
9074
90751971
907601:38:41,291 --> 01:38:42,724
9077Well, that's where
9078you're wrong, Al.
9079
90801972
908101:38:42,726 --> 01:38:44,696
9082I happen to be
9083a woman and I know a few.
9084
90851973
908601:38:46,596 --> 01:38:47,730
9087Your Honor,
9088the stories published
9089
90901974
909101:38:47,732 --> 01:38:49,031
9092in The Times
9093and now The Post...
9094
90951975
909601:38:49,033 --> 01:38:50,266
9097have created a diplomatic
9098
90991976
910001:38:50,268 --> 01:38:52,434
9101and security disaster
9102for the United States.
9103
91041977
910501:38:52,436 --> 01:38:55,705
9106How exactly have these papers
9107created a diplomatic disaster?
9108
91091978
911001:38:55,707 --> 01:38:58,173
9111Why would other countries
9112talk to us in confidence...
9113
91141979
911501:38:58,175 --> 01:38:59,709
9116if secrets like this
9117can be leaked?
9118
91191980
912001:38:59,711 --> 01:39:01,142
9121So, does this
9122make it difficult
9123
91241981
912501:39:01,144 --> 01:39:02,544
9126for the President to govern?
9127
91281982
912901:39:02,546 --> 01:39:05,347
9130If the President can't
9131keep secrets, he can't govern.
9132
91331983
913401:39:05,349 --> 01:39:07,148
9135Nothing less
9136than the integrity
9137
91381984
913901:39:07,150 --> 01:39:09,754
9140of the presidency is at stake.
9141
91421985
914301:39:10,188 --> 01:39:11,620
9144Yes, I know.
9145
91461986
914701:39:11,622 --> 01:39:13,688
9148I'm sure it has
9149rattled investors, Jerry.
9150
91511987
915201:39:13,690 --> 01:39:16,191
9153That's why I'm calling you.
9154
91551988
915601:39:16,193 --> 01:39:18,392
9157Yes, I understand
9158a number of them
9159
91601989
916101:39:18,394 --> 01:39:21,098
9162have considered pulling out
9163but we feel...
9164
91651990
916601:39:22,433 --> 01:39:26,371
9167Of course.
9168I stand behind the decision.
9169
91701991
917101:39:31,576 --> 01:39:33,409
9172Well, you know,
9173one could argue
9174
91751992
917601:39:33,411 --> 01:39:37,780
9177it's raising
9178the profile of The Post.
9179
91801993
918101:39:37,782 --> 01:39:41,383
9182Would The Post have published
9183military plans for D-Day...
9184
91851994
918601:39:41,385 --> 01:39:44,453
9187if they'd had them in advance?
9188
91891995
919001:39:44,455 --> 01:39:46,821
9191Well, I don't think
9192there's any comparison
9193
91941996
919501:39:46,823 --> 01:39:48,657
9196between a pending invasion
9197of Europe...
9198
91991997
920001:39:48,659 --> 01:39:51,559
9201and a historical survey
9202of American involvement
9203
92041998
920501:39:51,561 --> 01:39:53,131
9206in the Vietnam War.
9207
92081999
920901:39:54,564 --> 01:39:56,264
9210The Supreme Court has decided
9211
92122000
921301:39:56,266 --> 01:39:57,965
9214to hold a hearing
9215tomorrow morning...
9216
92172001
921801:39:57,967 --> 01:40:01,236
9219to resolve the tangle of
9220conflicting decisions...
9221
92222002
922301:40:01,238 --> 01:40:02,905
9224over what
9225of the Pentagon Papers
9226
92272003
922801:40:02,907 --> 01:40:04,740
9229can be published
9230and more broadly...
9231
92322004
923301:40:04,742 --> 01:40:06,374
9234the issue
9235of freedom of the press
9236
92372005
923801:40:06,376 --> 01:40:08,477
9239versus government security.
9240
92412006
924201:40:08,479 --> 01:40:09,911
9243But in agreeing
9244to hear the cases of
9245
92462007
924701:40:09,913 --> 01:40:11,545
9248The New York Times
9249and The Washington Post...
9250
92512008
925201:40:11,547 --> 01:40:14,548
9253Supreme's granted cert.
9254
92552009
925601:40:14,550 --> 01:40:16,050
9257Emergency expedited basis.
9258
92592010
926001:40:16,052 --> 01:40:18,022
9261We're in court
9262with The Times tomorrow.
9263
92642011
926501:40:20,257 --> 01:40:22,126
9266What are you so happy about?
9267
92682012
926901:40:27,866 --> 01:40:31,536
9270I always wanted to be part
9271of a small rebellion.
9272
92732013
927401:40:41,744 --> 01:40:43,646
9275I asked him
9276what he considers...
9277
92782014
927901:40:43,648 --> 01:40:45,313
9280the most important revelations
9281
92822015
928301:40:45,315 --> 01:40:47,583
9284to date
9285from the Pentagon documents.
9286
92872016
928801:40:47,585 --> 01:40:49,617
9289I think the lesson is
9290the people of this country...
9291
92922017
929301:40:49,619 --> 01:40:51,352
9294can't afford
9295to let the President
9296
92972018
929801:40:51,354 --> 01:40:53,556
9299run the country by himself.
9300
93012019
930201:40:53,558 --> 01:40:56,057
9303Even foreign affairs any more
9304than domestic affairs,
9305
93062020
930701:40:56,059 --> 01:40:57,625
9308without the help of Congress.
9309
93102021
931101:40:57,627 --> 01:40:58,727
9312I was struck, in fact,
9313
93142022
931501:40:58,729 --> 01:40:59,928
9316by President Johnson's
9317reaction...
9318
93192023
932001:40:59,930 --> 01:41:02,664
9321to these revelations
9322as close to treason.
9323
93242024
932501:41:02,666 --> 01:41:04,599
9326Because it reflected
9327to me the sense
9328
93292025
933001:41:04,601 --> 01:41:07,169
9331that what was damaging
9332to the reputation...
9333
93342026
933501:41:07,171 --> 01:41:08,736
9336of a particular
9337administration,
9338
93392027
934001:41:08,738 --> 01:41:10,406
9341a particular individual...
9342
93432028
934401:41:10,408 --> 01:41:12,641
9345was in itself treason.
9346
93472029
934801:41:12,643 --> 01:41:15,747
9349Which is very close to saying,
9350"I am the State."
9351
93522030
935301:41:21,984 --> 01:41:23,317
9354But this is
9355a self-governing country.
9356
93572031
935801:41:23,319 --> 01:41:24,820
9359Ben?
9360
93612032
936201:41:24,822 --> 01:41:27,656
9363The Constitution provides
9364for a separation of powers...
9365
93662033
936701:41:27,658 --> 01:41:30,829
9368What on earth are you doing?
9369
93702034
937101:41:46,109 --> 01:41:49,179
9372They all followed your lead
9373and published the papers.
9374
93752035
937601:41:50,113 --> 01:41:52,483
9377At least we're not alone.
9378
93792036
938001:41:53,283 --> 01:41:54,816
9381No matter
9382what happens tomorrow,
9383
93842037
938501:41:54,818 --> 01:41:57,852
9386we are not
9387a little local paper anymore.
9388
93892038
939001:41:57,854 --> 01:41:58,922
9391Hmm.
9392
93932039
939401:42:11,536 --> 01:42:12,634
9395I'd be very interested
9396in your opinion.
9397
93982040
939901:42:12,636 --> 01:42:13,968
9400Sounds good.
9401
94022041
940301:42:13,970 --> 01:42:15,169
9404All right, I'll see you
9405at the first break.
9406
94072042
940801:42:15,171 --> 01:42:16,174
9409All right.
9410
94112043
941201:42:18,141 --> 01:42:19,644
9413I am sorry.
9414
94152044
941601:42:23,514 --> 01:42:25,313
9417Mrs. Graham,
9418there's an entrance
9419
94202045
942101:42:25,315 --> 01:42:26,682
9422around the side
9423for the appellants.
9424
94252046
942601:42:26,684 --> 01:42:28,086
9427Oh, thank you very much.
9428
94292047
943001:42:29,485 --> 01:42:31,152
9431I'm sorry I'm walking so fast.
9432
94332048
943401:42:31,154 --> 01:42:33,455
9435I was supposed to be here
9436half hour ago...
9437
94382049
943901:42:33,457 --> 01:42:34,923
9440but then I had to
9441make copies of the brief
9442
94432050
944401:42:34,925 --> 01:42:36,525
9445and there
9446was so much traffic...
9447
94482051
944901:42:36,527 --> 01:42:37,625
9450and you just wouldn't think
9451
94522052
945301:42:37,627 --> 01:42:38,861
9454there'd be all these people,
9455you know?
9456
94572053
945801:42:38,863 --> 01:42:41,263
9459No, you wouldn't.
9460You work for Roger Clark then?
9461
94622054
946301:42:41,265 --> 01:42:42,630
9464I work for the government.
9465
94662055
946701:42:42,632 --> 01:42:44,700
9468The Solicitor
9469General's office.
9470
94712056
947201:42:44,702 --> 01:42:46,401
9473Oh. You're on the other team.
9474
94752057
947601:42:46,403 --> 01:42:47,604
9477Mrs. Graham...
9478
94792058
948001:42:48,439 --> 01:42:51,440
9481I probably shouldn't say this.
9482
94832059
948401:42:51,442 --> 01:42:54,746
9485My brother,
9486he's still over there and...
9487
94882060
948901:42:58,114 --> 01:43:00,184
9490Well, I hope you win.
9491
94922061
949301:43:01,585 --> 01:43:02,817
9494Besides, I like someone
9495
94962062
949701:43:02,819 --> 01:43:04,453
9498telling these guys
9499what's what.
9500
95012063
950201:43:04,455 --> 01:43:05,687
9503But don't tell my boss
9504I said that.
9505
95062064
950701:43:05,689 --> 01:43:07,129
9508He'd fire me just
9509for talking to you.
9510
95112065
951201:43:15,099 --> 01:43:16,598
9513- Ben.
9514- How are ya, kid?
9515
95162066

9519- Roger.
9520

952201:43:21,904 --> 01:43:23,438
9523I told you
9524to be here at eight.
9525
95262068
952701:43:23,440 --> 01:43:24,505
9528Yes. I was here at eight,
9529
95302069

9532but Richard
9533sent me back to make...
9534
95352070
953601:43:25,675 --> 01:43:26,808
9537Is Richard your boss?
9538
95392071
954001:43:26,810 --> 01:43:28,777
9541No, but you weren't here so...
9542
95432072
954401:43:28,779 --> 01:43:31,683
9545I don't want excuses.
9546Just take a seat.
9547
95482073
954901:43:33,117 --> 01:43:34,249
9550Mrs. Graham.
9551

9569side for a change.

9597it's appropriate...
9598

960001:43:58,675 --> 01:44:00,344
9601given what's at stake.

9638
96392093
964001:44:23,634 --> 01:44:24,967
9641Mr. Sulzberger,
9642do you think
9643
96442094
964501:44:24,969 --> 01:44:26,535
9646they'll decide in your favor?
9647
96482095
964901:44:26,537 --> 01:44:29,237
9650Well, overall
9651we feel encouraged.
9652
96532096
965401:44:29,239 --> 01:44:33,142
965527 congressmen filed
9656amicus briefs on our behalf.
9657
96582097
965901:44:33,144 --> 01:44:34,276
9660As well as the ACLU...
9661
96622098
966301:44:34,278 --> 01:44:35,143
9664We should make a statement.
9665
96662099
966701:44:35,145 --> 01:44:36,544
9668You would think
9669that's her job.
9670
96712100
967201:44:36,546 --> 01:44:40,048
9673I believe everything we had
9674to say we've already said.

9756Listen up.
9757

9764Okay.
9765
97662122
976701:46:11,876 --> 01:46:15,210
9768"The founding fathers
9769gave the free press...
9770
97712123
977201:46:15,212 --> 01:46:17,982
9773"the protection
9774it must have...
9775
97762124
977701:46:20,384 --> 01:46:24,488
9778"to fulfill its essential role
9779in our democracy.
9780
97812125
978201:46:27,858 --> 01:46:30,191
9783"The press was
9784to serve the governed,
9785
97862126
978701:46:30,193 --> 01:46:31,660
9788"not the governors."
9789
97902127
979101:46:36,399 --> 01:46:37,400
9792Thank you.
9793
97942128
979501:46:56,552 --> 01:46:58,189
9796That looks great.
9797
97982129
979901:47:13,871 --> 01:47:17,505
9800You know what my husband
9801said about the news?
9802
98032130
980401:47:17,507 --> 01:47:20,875
9805He called it the first
9806rough draft of history.
9807
98082131
980901:47:20,877 --> 01:47:23,544
9810That's good, isn't it?
9811
98122132
981301:47:23,546 --> 01:47:26,313
9814Oh, well, we don't always
9815get it right, you know?
9816
98172133
981801:47:26,315 --> 01:47:28,550
9819We're not always perfect,
9820but I think
9821
98222134
982301:47:28,552 --> 01:47:30,785
9824if we just keep on it,
9825you know?
9826
98272135
982801:47:30,787 --> 01:47:32,322
9829That's the job, isn't it?
9830
98312136
983201:47:36,792 --> 01:47:38,228
9833Yes, it is.
9834
98352137
983601:47:53,943 --> 01:47:56,645
9837Oh, Ken Clawson came by
9838to see me earlier.
9839
98402138
984101:47:56,647 --> 01:47:57,779
9842Oh?
9843
98442139
984501:47:57,781 --> 01:47:59,748
9846Apparently,
9847Justice is still considering
9848
98492140
985001:47:59,750 --> 01:48:01,016
9851criminal charges against us.
9852
98532141
985401:48:01,018 --> 01:48:02,950
9855Yeah, well,
9856I bet they are.
9857
98582142
985901:48:02,952 --> 01:48:04,285
9860And you're not worried.
9861
98622143
986301:48:04,287 --> 01:48:06,522
9864Nope. No, Katharine,
9865that's your job.
9866
98672144
986801:48:06,524 --> 01:48:07,989
9869I suppose it is.
9870
98712145
987201:48:07,991 --> 01:48:11,159
9873Oh, thank God the court ruling
9874was very clear.
9875
98762146
987701:48:11,161 --> 01:48:14,763
9878Yeah, well, I'm sure
9879Nixon will fall right in line.
9880
98812147
988201:48:14,765 --> 01:48:16,196
9883Hmm.
9884Good, because you know...
9885
98862148
988701:48:16,198 --> 01:48:17,965

9889I could ever live through
9890
98912149
989201:48:17,967 --> 01:48:19,604

9931You tell Connie,
9932"Don't tell Mrs. Nixon,"
9933
