""But Woodward, who has used the phrase in reference to President Nixon for years, said he didn’t coin it; he read it some years earlier in a judicial opinion in a First Amendment case. He couldn’t recall the specifics of the case or the name of the judge who wrote the opinion.

In his decision, Keith apparently coined a variation on The Post’s motto, writing that “Democracy dies in the dark.”""
