All the President’s Men

By Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward

Season 5, Episode 7, “You Jump, I Jump, Jack”

Doyle: I love this. We just had a very “All the President’s Men” moment.

Rory: Very.

Doyle: Moving around the newsroom like that, felt good.

Rory: Let’s do it again sometime.

Season 6, Episode 19, “I Get a Kick Out of You”

Rory: You want me to print a point/counterpoint where both points are written by the same person?

Paris: Bold Huh?

Rory: You have five minutes to pick a side. A.K., Time?

A.K.: 3:17

Rosemary: Ooh, how very “All the President’s Men.” Exciting.

As I stated in my “A Proofreader’s Guide to the Rory Gilmore Book Challenge” intro, I won’t be commenting on political pieces. BUT I will include here a passage from the book that I found relevant for all you Gilmore fans. Throughout the series Logan calls Rory “Ace” as a nickname/term of endearment. This is a reference from this book and stems from them working together in a newspaper room:

All The President’s Men, Page 108

The night of October 4, Woodward got home at about eleven. The phone was ringing as he stepped in the door. “Ace—” it was Bill Brady. The night editor calls all the young reporters “Ace.” (Brady had called Woodward “Ace” the second night he worked at the Post, and Woodward’s head had swelled for several hours, until he heard Brady address a notorious office incompetent by the same title.)

            “Ace,” said Brady, “the L.A. Times is running some long interview with a fellow named Baldwin.”

            Woodward groaned, and said he’d be right in.

I rate this book 5 cups of Luke’s coffee!
