"When this all really happened, we were just kids, Woodward says. 28 and 29 Bernstein said, still finishing each others' sentences. The story still resonates today, Bernstein adds."

An A-list staged reading of All the President's Men took place at Guild Hall to honor Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and to raise funds for The Center at West Park, a Presbyterian church performance space.
