Orem Lawn Case |
The highlight of the Society of Professional Journalists' 2007 National Convention was a panel discussion with Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward of The Washington Post on Watergate and its aftermath. Joining them was Ben Bradlee, the Post's editor during that time. Afterwards, they did a book signing where I got this picture, as well as had them autograph my copy of All The President's Men.

Important rule when on a media stakeout: Have some headgear to avoid sunburn. I forgot that when I went down to Huntington on the Crandall Canyon mine story, but I had a cravat bandage I could use as a doo rag.
