'Deep Throat' Revealed

The Washington Post today confirmed that W. Mark Felt, a former number-two official at the FBI, was "Deep Throat," the secretive source who provided information that helped unravel the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s and contributed to the resignation of president Richard M. Nixon (full WaPo article).

Fascinating. ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN is one of my most memorable reads, a paradigm of nonfiction narrative.

(No, not ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. The other one)
