Bernstein contacts a woman, referred to as “Z”, with significant knowledge of the White House and CRP. (Many believe based on notes discovered in Bradlee’s files in 2010 that Z was a grand juror, but Woodward and Bernstein vehemently deny this). She tells him there is more to their own stories than they realize. She runs through a list of potential lines of investigation, but won’t give details. She does say the work of the Plumbers is very important and goes back before the Pentagon Papers especially now that two of the men involved with that were indicted.
