...political assassinations abroad, as the show has it. The miniseries has the Washington Post discovering malfeasance long before the Watergate breakin; it did not. The video version of the burglary by White House plumbers of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist becomes a break-in at a St. Louis courthouse; instead of psychiatric records, the squad is after police records.

...Times and Daily News. "If you don't vigorously go after the story, people say you're lazy. If you do, people say you are picking on the people involved. You just have to continue to dig and print what you think is newsworthy." St. Louis Post-Dispatch Reporter Thomas Ottenad thinks reporters had no choice but to go after Lance, especially after the comptroller's report pronounced him innocent only of actual violation of law.
