...album-groups relied on songwriters and producers to give them hit singles. The Drifters had Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller producing their hits, and a gang of young pros in the Brill Building (Goffin and King, Pomus and Shuman) writing them.

Woodward drew attention for withholding from his editor a conversation about Plame he had with an administration official in June 2003, and for publicly marginalizing the investigation's importance as recently as late October.
