Last week I wrote of Max Holland’s highly interesting article in this month’s Washingtonian magazine concerning the unnamed lawyer connected with the Washington Post who (according to H.R. Haldeman in a conversation with RN on Oct. 19, 1972) had told a friend at the Justice Department (the late Henry Peterson, who then told John Dean, who told Haldeman) that Mark Felt was providing information about the Watergate affair for Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein’s articles.
A considerably longer version of this article, with much greater detail (especially concerning the late Edward Bennett Williams) can now be found at Holland’s washingtondecoded site. It’s very much worth reading for anyone looking into that perennial question of what Woodward and Bernstein knew, and when (and from whom) they knew it.
