backward and left did he relax. He turned down several requests to appear on local television programs, passing up opportllnities to plug the new book on the witch hllnts of the Cold War he is finishing. His fans ask continually about "All The Presi- dent's Men," but he would rather dis- cuss "The Final Days," a book in which he and Woodward are not men- tioned.

many people do not hare his regard for journalism. And he is worried much of modern journalism does not has engaged in an or ·of self-congratulation since Watergate," Bernstein told a lecture audience f about 400. "No attitude could be more unjustified." He pointed out that of the more than 2,000 reporters assigned to cover Washington in 1972, only a half dozen actually investigated Watergate in the first six months after the break-in. Most newspapers devoted more space to the Nixon administration's rebut• tals of the storie~ he and Woodward were writing than to examining and following up thCll' findings, he recalled. The man played by Dustin Hoffman in the film version of "All The Prest• deserve their respect. "The Am rican pre

dent's Men" insisted there was noth- ing unusual about the way he and Woodward cracked the cover-up. "We did basic police reporting," the casu- ally dressed, shaggy-hairedBernstein sa'"d "We knocked on a lot of doors, we did a lot of legwork. We had to start from the bottom and work our way up." Bernstein said the Nixon adminis- tration fostered contempt for the pres that remains today, especially in the Supreme Court of another Nix- on legacy, Chief Justice Warren Burger. Recent decisions of the Burger Court making it more difficult for journalists to protect their sources have "handicapped reporters and undermmed freedom of the press," Bernstem said. But he fears too few people really care. Distrust and resentment of the

press are widespread - with good reason, Bernstein said. "We're arro- gant. We do a terrible job of explain- mg ourselves," he said. "The press remains largely a closed institution." Bernstem - who next year be- comes Washington bureau chief of ABC News - criticizedwhat he called the "neo-journalism" that em- phasizes gossip and celebrities in- stead of hard news; that pays large sums to news sources like Henry Kiss- mger "who repeatedly lied to the Con- gress, to the people and to the press"; that caters to the "conspicuous ronsumption" of the affluent rather than the pressing needs of the aver- age consumer. "This trend has been at the direct expense of our real function - to re- port the news," Bernstein said. But while Bernstein blasted the

trend to glamorize reporters and make them celebrities, there is no es- caping the fact Carl Bernstein is perceived and treated as a star. He has written two best-selling books and been the subject of a successful mov- ie. Last mght, he spent 90 minutes talking and fielding questions; for that he was paid more than $2,000 plus expenses. He arrived and departed in a long, silver limousine. Once an anonymous beat reporter, Bernstein today is instantly recogniz- able. • Still, there is another side of Bern• stem that shllns celebrity status. He was uncomfortable when he began, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, fumbling note cards, gripping the podium like his very life depended on it. Not until the television crews turned off their bright lights

SAN DIF,GQ - Carl Bernstein was 16 years old, a copy boy with the Washington Star, when he fell in love with journalism. " I thought it was terrifically excit- ing," the Pulitzer Prize-wrnner re- called last night at the University of San Diego. " II was sort of like having a seat where everything was happen• ing." Nineteen years later, Bernstein 1s still in love with his profession, still believes it is an honorable and vital calling ih a free society. But Bern- stein, who along with his Washington Post colleague Bob Woodward helped uncover the bizarre scandal called Watergate and bring down a presi- dent in the process, is worried that

"I think 'The Final Days' is by far the best reporting Bob and I ever did," said Bernstein. "'All The Presi• dent's Men' is about how we covered the story, it's not about Watergate. 'The Final Days' is a rather meticu- lous record of what happened during one of the most extraordinary periods in American history. I feel real good about that book. I think it's a real good piece of work."
