A black guard alertly did his duty and reported the taped door. I heard he was later blacklisted and was out of a job. He should have received a medal and special pension. What happened to him?

Harvey,

Jack got it right. He is referencing what Woodward and Bernstein were called by colleagues as a team, as they explain in All The President's Men. "Their colleagues melded the two into in one and gleefully named their byline Woodstein."

P.S. I won't miss those call slips, having filled out hundreds of them...

Who is Woodstein? Wow, you can't even get that straight from writing this short opinion. This is just another example of your poor journalism.
