Investigative Reporter Bob Woodward says that the miniseries "illustrates the precise reason why Carl Bernstein and I refused to sell movie or TV rights to The Final Days." Both feared what dramatization might do to their account of Richard Nixon's resignation; having been participants in All the President's Men, they felt they could exercise some control over their first book.
