'''Robert Upshur "Bob" Woodward''' is the assistant managing editor for Investigative News for ''The Washington Post''. Woodward and [[Carl Bernstein]] are the "reporters of the ''Washington Post'' [who] investigated the [[Watergate]] break-in and first cracked the Watergate scandal in August 1972, which led to the resignation of President [[Richard M. Nixon]] in 1974." [http://www.heroism.org/class/1970/wood.html]
Prior to this however, Woodward worked "as communications watch officer at the [[Pentagon]] in 1970, which led him to act as a courier between the military and the White House. His work brought him into close contact with General [[Alexander Haig]], who worked for the National Security Council and whom he frequently briefed. Operating in this environment had much more to do with his future evolution as a journalist than anything else, including his work on exposing Watergate." <ref>Louis Proyect, "[http://www.swans.com/library/art11/lproy31.html Debunking Bob Woodward]", ''Swans Commentary'', December 5, 2005.</ref>
