All the President’s Men: Nixon-Era Newsroom Ambience with Typing & Phones for Focus & Study

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies—Vintage newsroom ambience. I've worked in large newsrooms, though none had operating typewriters. There were relics in our office, all of which were reduced to desk tchotchkes. The owners wanted to remind us that they wielded them for producing news, not like us fancy laptop people with quiet plastic keys. Anyway, this movie-flavored ambience episode reproduces⁠ the newsroom scene⁠ where both Woodward (played by Robert Redford) and Bernstein (played by Dustin Hoffman) declare that they "don't want to fight" while smoking a lot of cigarettes.In my news days, I had a bunch of obscure anime figures decorating my desk. And I wasn't allowed to smoke.
