Just a little more on Deep Throat
I am really shocked at how much reaction there is to this story, still. I thought by now there wouldn't be much interest. But it just keeps coming. Two things that I think are worth reading if you're still into the story:
How Deep Throat Fooled the FBI, in The Nation; this story says W. Mark Felt was in charge of investigating the possibility that 'Throat' was in the FBI: "This placed Felt, who as the FBI's associate director oversaw the bureau's Watergate probe, in an unusual position. He was essentially in charge of investigating himself."
