"It's hard to imagine any reporters today getting so many love letters really for one story," says Woodward and Bernstein biographer
Alicia Shepard. "There are about two feet of fan letters in [the reporters' archives at the University of Texas]. People thought that [the duo] could save the world after Watergate and sent them scores of requests: investigate the Kennedy assassination, look into fluoride in water, find someone's missing husband in Cuba, look into military medical malpractice. ...Another woman wrote in saying she was interested in Bernstein and that Woodward seemed like a cold fish. Many letters like that."
