Speaking of quaint, this brings to mind an exchange in the movie _All the President’s Men_ (which I have watched about a dozen times in the last two years). Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) is on the phone with Attorney General John Mitchell asking for a comment re something the Washington Post plans to print in the morning. Mitchell’s response is outrage and, “Katie Graham’s gonna get her tit caught in a big fat wringer if that’s published…” Woodward reports this to Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards) who says, “Did Mitchell really say that about Mrs. Graham?” When Woodward affirms, Bradlee says, “Print it, but leave out the word _tit_.” Woodward: “Why?” Bradlee: “Because this is a family newspaper.” [More background.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/watergate/stories/graham.htm) ---

Point of order: It was Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) who had that conversation on the phone with John Mitchell. I just watched it last week. ---

I was just watching the YouTube clip of Morning Joe today and the lead story is how Trump this past weekend has never been happier: > [@](#): > > @realDonaldTrump > Happy Easter! I have never been happier or more content because your Country is doing so well, with an Economy that is the talk of the World and may be stronger than it has ever been before. Have a great day! So, I guess that means Trump has never been unhappier. I’m sure the Mueller report that makes you look incompetent and ineffective in your efforts at obstruction because your people ignored you is a real ego boost. And later: > [@](#): > > @realDonaldTrump > How do you impeach a Republican President for a crime that was committed by the Democrats? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Democrats tried to obstruct justice? ---
