C UNDERSTANDING DEEP THROAT: Why a source took on a president then, and how Nixon's fall shapes us even now. li4=i- *lad a i BY EVAN THOMAS THREE DECADES ON, MANY, IF NOT MOST, Americans know about Watergate from the movie "All the President's Men." Boiled down to its melodra- matic essentials, the film is a timeless quest story. it shows two young seekers—newspaper reporters handsome enough to be Robert Redford, cool enough to be Dustin Hoffinan, guided by a wizard in a cave (Deep Throat in a garage)—toppling the Evil Empire (Richard Nixon's White House). The filmmaker, Felt at the late Alan Pakula, deftly used lighting to enhance the FBI; Nixon bows out the feel of a Manichaean struggle. The newsroom where the reporters work is always bright, open, a place of truth. Almost everything else is dark, shadowy—nests of liars and prevaricators. How long ago, and how romantic, the story seems. Reporters are not exactly heroes these days. Anonymous sources like Deep Throat are in disrepute, and many large news organizations, including NEWSWEEK, are under fire for their mistakes. What happened to the days when re- porters were searching for truth, instead of gabbling on talk shows? "All the President's Men" was a great morality tale, and true enough mom LEFT: POLARIS.

  • A New View of the Watergate Investigations
    A New View of the Watergate Investigations Author Ed Gray discusses his father�s experiences of the controversy from the top of the FBI Nixon Library April 9 at 7:00 p.m. March 18, Yorba Linda, CA—When President Nixon appointed L. Patrick Gray III as head of the FBI, Gray knew that following the footsteps of J. Edgar Hoover—his immediate (and only) predecessor—would be a challenge. But Gray quickly found himself in a deep mess, the result of the FBI’s investigation into the June 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Gray lays out his story in his posthumously published memoirs, co-written with his son, Ed Gray. Ed Gray will discuss his father’s view of the Watergate controversy and its aftermath at a free public lecture on April 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. “Part of the Nixon Library’s mission is to encourage a free spirit of inquiry into all aspects of the Nixon administration, including the Watergate abuses of government power,” Library director Tim Naftali said. According to publisher Times Books: This book is Gray’s firsthand account of what really happened during his crucial year as acting director of the FBI, based on a never-before-published first-person account and previously secret documents. He reveals the witches’ brew of intrigue and perfidy that permeated Washington, and he tells the unknown story of his complex relationship with his top deputy, Mark Felt, raising disturbing questions about the methods and motives of the man purported to be Deep Throat.

  • Watergate and the Two Lives of Mark Felt
    Watergate and the Two Lives of Mark Felt Page 1 of 7 washingtonpost.com Advertisement Watergate and the Two Lives of Mark Felt Roles as FBI Official, 'Deep Throat' Clashed THE VALUE By Michael Dobbs Washington Post Staff Writer STARTS Monday, June 20, 2005; A01 WITH THE The Watergate scandal had reached a peak, and President Richard M. Nixon was furious about press leaks. His suspicions focused on the number two man at the FBI, W. Mark Felt, a 31-year bureau veteran. He ordered his aides to "confront" the presumed traitor. Another man may have panicked. Over the previous six months, Felt had been meeting secretly with Bob Woodward of The Washington Post, helping him and fellow Post reporter Carl Bernstein with a series of sensational scoops about the abuse of presidential power. But the former World War II spymaster had an exquisite sense of how to play the bureaucratic game. In a Feb. 21, 1973, FBI memo, Felt denounced the Post stories as an amalgam of "fiction and half truths," combined with some genuine information from "sources either in the FBI or the Department of Justice." To deflect attention from himself, he ordered an investigation into the latest leak. "Expedite," he instructed. Recently identified as the secret Watergate source known as "Deep Throat," Felt is the last and most mysterious of a colorful cast of characters who have captured the national imagination. Now 91, and in shaky health, the former FBI man joins a pantheon of Watergate figures ranging from H.R. "Bob" Haldeman and G. Gordon Liddy to John J.

Mark Felt, the associate director of the FBI under President Nixon. While the announcement bought to a close 30 years of speculation and accusations concerning Deep Throat’s identity, it created new complications in promoting Watergate as a marker of journalistic success. With stroke-afflicted Felt unable to speak on his own behalf, other speakers came forward to question Felt’s character and his motives for surreptitiously working with journalists. In struggling to interpret the past, journalists and critics competed publicly to define acceptable news practices in the present.

Some of the earliest battles over the Internet were fought over access to government information. Gradually, the battlefield broadened, encompassing a wide range of federal and state constitutional issues, federal common law, and private international law. The same core issues and principles explored in my 1995 article, however-deferring to competitive markets and encouraging them to produce a diversity of products and services, ensuring access to the marketplace by all consumers and producers, and providing a mechanism to compensate for injury [FN4]-now frame the full range of legal and policy questions arising from the Internet's ubiquity.

    `Deep Throat' Unmasks Himself: Ex-No. 2 at F.B.I. By TODD S. PURDIJM WASHINGTON, May 31 — Deep Throat, the mystery man who reigned as Washington's best-kept secret source for more than 30 years, was not just any shadowy, cigarette- smoking tipster in a raincoat. He was the No. 2 official of the F.B.I., W. Mark Felt, who helped The Washing- ton Post unravel the Watergate scan- dal and the presidency of Richatd M. Nixon, a feat that he lived to see dis- closed on Tuesday, frail but smiling at 91. In a final plot twist worthy of the saga that Mr. Felt helped to spawn, Vanity Fair magazine released an article from its July issue reporting that Mr. Felt, long a prime suspect to Nixon himself, had in recent years confided to his family and friends, "I'm the guy they used to call 'Deep Throat.'
