Bob Woodward and Carl Berstein began to find small clues of something that was bigger than watergate burglaries. The began to question people high up in goverment office but they acted like they had no clue. These two reporters knew that they had been told not to talk. They began to persuade people to give clues about watergate, and eventually developed a story that would change the world.
