“Deep Throat moved closer to Woodward. ‘Let me explain something,’ he said. ‘When you move on someone like Haldeman, you’ve got to be sure you’re on the most solid ground. Shit, what a royal screw-up!'” (p 220)
My Top 10:

- Marathon Man
- The Last Tycoon
- The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings
- The Seven-Per-Cent Solution
