...trip was unremarkable - as unremarkable as man's first journey to the moon could be. There were two broadcasts back to Earth - the usual all-is-well waving-to-the-camera fare. News reports were read to the crew by Houston: Eleven GI's were released in Cambodia; Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower were married in New York; the Cleveland Browns beat the Dallas Cowboys 31 to 20 on Sunday and the Minnesota Vikings would be playing the Baltimore Colts on Monday.

At one point several years after the Nixon resignation, two of us at TIME undertook to try to find the identity of Deep Throat. Although tracking down a competitor's source is not the highest calling of a journalist, we had always been intrigued by the fact that Woodward, at that point a very young and very inexperienced reporter, had managed to find a source as well placed as Deep Throat. We surmised that Woodward, having only been at the Post for a short time...
