I recently finished reading _All the President's Men_ for my comps. It's a fun book in a lot of ways, but I also think it could come in handy for a writing class. As Woodward and Bernstein investigate the Watergate break-in, they get numerous sources to confirm or deny stories and facts, or even provide new information. Still, some sources refuse to go on record or only provide information on background. What I found really fascinating was the newsroom scenes after talking to sources.
