Regarding last week's question: "Name the two journalists credited
with/blamed for
bringing down the Nixon Administration," we had three winners.

Congratulations Robi, Craig and Merrin.

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were the reporters whose investigative
work
revealed Richard Nixon's participation in a scandal that became known as

"Watergate." Ben Bradlee -- their editor at The Washington Post at that
time -- was also a key player.

This week's question:

Whitelaw Reid is Miami University's most famous graduate in the field of
journalism.
A member of the class of 1856, he set standards for America's war
correspondents.

Both Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee insisted on reading Reid's
coverage of
which major Civil War battle? What was unique about Reid's style that
placed him
a mark above other reporters covering the Civil War?
