閱讀卡爾·伯恩斯坦 Carl Bernstein在小说之家的作品!!! | |||
生平
1944年在美國華盛頓哥倫比亞特區出生，猶太裔，父母均為共産黨。大學在馬裏蘭大學學院市分校就讀，並未畢業已投身新聞界，1966年加入《華盛頓郵報》。
事業
1972年，伯恩斯坦與同事鮑勃·伍德沃德通過其內綫“深喉”（即馬剋·費爾特）的情報及協助，率先披露了水門事件醜聞，從而迫使總統尼剋遜下臺，名噪新聞界。兩人也因此獲得了1973年的普利策新聞奬，其後他們亦合作將他們的經歷撰寫成書本《總統班底》，在1974年出版。有關此事件，兩人還合著了另外兩本書：第一本是《最後的日子》（The Final Days），有關尼剋遜下臺前的日子，在1976年出版；第二本是在“深喉”的身分於2005年爆光後出版，名為The Secret Man。
伯恩斯坦水門事件後的事業並沒像伍德沃德一樣一帆風順，更因時常與好萊塢影星一起，令聲名大受影響，如《華盛頓郵報》的70年周年紀念就沒有邀請他。1976年，伯恩斯坦離開《華盛頓郵報》，其後曾當ABC新聞的華盛頓分社主管，任教於紐約大學，及為《時代雜志》撰稿，現時受聘於《名利場》。
期間撰寫了一本有關他父母的自傳，名為Loyalties: A Son's Memoir，1989年出版。亦與Marco Politi合著了一本有關若望·保祿二世的傳記，名His Holiness: John Paul II & the History of Our Time，1996年出版。其後於2007年出版了一本有關希拉裏·羅德姆·剋林頓的傳記，名A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton。
私人生活
第二任妻子為諾拉·艾芙蓉（Nora Ephron），兩人1976年結婚，育有二子Jacob及Max，但已因伯恩斯坦的不忠而於1980年離異。伯恩斯坦的出軌對象為瑪嘉烈·傑伊（Margaret Jay，詹姆斯·卡拉漢之女），艾芙蓉發現時正懷着第二子Max，更因此早産。艾芙蓉其後將兩人的婚姻經過改編成1983年出版的小說《心火》，將影射伯恩斯坦的角色描繪得相當不堪，該小說更在1983年被改編成同名電影。
伯恩斯坦現與名為Christine的現任妻子住在紐約。
電影
《總統班底》曾被改編成電影，由艾倫·帕庫拉執導，飾演伯恩斯坦的是德斯汀·荷夫曼，鮑勃·伍德沃德則由羅拔·烈福飾演。
伯恩斯坦還在銀幕上出現過兩次，一次是在喜劇片《白宮也瘋狂》（Dick）中，由Bruce McCulloch飾演，另一次由傑剋·尼科爾森在《心火》中扮演一個影射伯恩斯坦的角色。

In a 1977 Rolling Stone article, Bernstein revealed that over 400 US journalists had been employed by the Central Intelligence Agency, secretly carrying out assignments and publishing news stories for them.
Personal
In his 1989 memoir Loyalties, Bernstein revealed that his parents had been members of the Communist Party, which shocked some because even J. Edgar Hoover had tried and been unable to prove that Bernstein's parents were party members. Bernstein's parents were allegedly persecuted during the 1950s. The FBI conducted surveillance on his family over a 30 year period producing over 2,500 pages of documents, including notes taken by agents staking out his bar mitzvah.
Bernstein graduated from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland. He subsequently attended the University of Maryland, College Park, but did not graduate. Bernstein, who is Jewish, is a lifetime member of B'nai B'rith and once was President of B'nai B'rith's Northern Region.
Bernstein met Margaret Jay, daughter of British Prime Minister James Callaghan and wife of Peter Jay, then UK ambassador to the United States. They had a much-publicised extramarital relationship in 1979. Margaret later became a government minister in her own right. Bernstein and his second wife, screenwriter Nora Ephron, already had an infant son, Jacob, and she was pregnant with their second son, Max, in 1980 when she learned of her husband's affair with Jay. Ephron delivered Max prematurely after finding out. Writer Ephron was inspired by the events to write the 1983 novel Heartburn, which was made into a 1986 film starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. In the thinly fictionalized book, Ephron gave unflattering depictions of both Jay and Bernstein, writing of a husband who was “capable of having sex with a Venetian blind" and saying that Jay looked like a giraffe with "big feet."
Bernstein then became known for dating Bianca Jagger, Martha Stewart and Elizabeth Taylor.
He currently resides in New York with his wife, Christine.

v • d • e
Bernstein began working for The Washington Post in 1966 and played an integral role in his partnership with Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal. Bernstein was the first to suspect that Nixon played a part, and Bernstein found the laundered check that linked Nixon to the burglary.
Bernstein quit The Washington Post in 1976. Post-Watergate, he did not realize the same level of success that Woodward did; his frequent appearances in gossip columns resulting from the book Ephron wrote, his arrest, and his dating of Hollywood celebrities overshadowed his journalistic accomplishments. Notably, Washington Post owner Katharine Graham did not invite him to the newspaper's 70th birthday gala, which was widely regarded as a snub given Bernstein's contributions toward bringing the Post to international stature.
After leaving the Post, he worked as the Washington Bureau Chief and as a senior correspondent for ABC News, taught at New York University, and contributed to Time. Bernstein authored two books with Woodward: All the President's Men, which details the successes and failures of their journalistic efforts against the backdrop of the unfolding scandal, and The Final Days, a recounting of the concluding months of the Nixon presidency, although Woodward questioned Bernstein's contributions to the latter book and reportedly did not want to list Bernstein as a co-author. Woodward said, "It was not the most productive time for Carl." Woodward reportedly turned down offers to again work with Bernstein on an investigative column or any further books.
He co-authored the book His Holiness: John Paul II & the History of Our Time with Marco Politi. Following the May 2005 revelation of the identity of Deep Throat, Bernstein contributed to Woodward's book The Secret Man, which pertains to Woodward's relationship with Mark Felt.
Bernstein wrote a memoir, a "pained, loving, intensely felt account of his parents' ordeal, and his own emotional upheaval, during President Harry Truman's loyalty purges." He has also written a biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton, A Woman In Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, published by Alfred A. Knopf on June 5, 2007.
He is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair magazine.
