Bob Woodward

Bob Woodward is, to me, something close to the conscience of American journalism. Teaming with Carl Bernstein to break Watergate and help topple a president is the sort of work that justifies an entire profession. All the President's Men captured the grind of holding power accountable, and his two Pulitzers underline a lifetime of it. What impresses me most is the persistence: still publishing penetrating accounts of administrations well past eighty. Patiently stacking verified facts to keep power honest is democracy's essential labor, and Woodward has practiced it longer and more relentlessly than almost anyone alive.
