From the New York Times:
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 Washington Post unravel the Watergate scandal and the presidency of Richard M. Nixon, a feat that he lived to see disclosed on Tuesday, frail but smiling at 91.
Having watched Star Wars and one or two X Files, this is quite a disappointment. You'd think he'd be wearing a hood and maybe carrying a light saber, or at least wearing a rain coat. Such is the stuff that history is made of.
