...early in her career her politeness meant she could be suckered out of a story even after she had it. Her book cites several examples: Presidential Aides Ron Nessen and Hamilton Jordan stalled or fibbed to persuade her to forget leaks that could embarrass their Administrations; CBS Reporter Lesley Stahl overheard, and promptly duplicated, Woodruffs exclusive on the appointment of Shirley Hufstedler as the first Cabinet-level Secretary of Education in 1979. The news items were fleeting, but the lesson lasted. Says Woodruff: "As with most competitive pursuits, nice reporters tend to finish last." Woodruff has also learned from...
...anger. She doubts that many TV news directors today would dare tell a young woman what her first boss told her: the station already had its quota of one woman reporter. But it rankles that many people confuse her with her NBC colleague Jessica Savitch, with CBS's Stahl and Diane Sawyer and with ABC'S Catherine Mackin, apparently because all are blond.

David Stockman, Director of the President's Office of Management and Budget, was on the cover. Had the President, asked Stahl, seen Stockman's critique of his economic program in the magazine? The President, taken aback, replied that he would ask Stockman what he had said. He did. And the furor that followed (yeeNATION)provided...
...Green in New York's Central Park to dance and dine the night away with the top brass. With enough liquor to anesthetize a Russian army and with every kind of food known to man, we all soon got into the spirit. Beefy cameramen jostled the likes of Lesley Stahl at the crepe and caviar table, and pool secretaries chatted with producers...
