Forty-five years ago today, @washingtonpost reporters @realBobWoodward and @carlbernstein went to the NW Washington home of White House chief of staff Alexander Haig. It was 11:30 p.m. and two days after President Ford had pardoned Richard Nixon. 1/6 Haig had engineered the pardon from Ford, although he denied it. He told the two reporters that he knew it was inevitable that Nixon would leave office prematurely from the time he took the chief of staff job on May 3, 1973.
