Deep Throat

So like a week ago I was started reading this book, my friend had used for one of his classes this past semester and I thought since I had nothing better to do I would read it. The book is pretty famous and there is a movies based on it, the book is about a scandal that brought down an American administration, the book, if the title of my post has not given it away, is: All th President's Men. I have gone through most of the book (it's 336 pg long) and I must say it is a page turner, Woodward and Bernstein detail how the came to land on the story, how the began working together on the story, how the realied on various sources and the intrigues both inside and outside the paper. It is a very interesting read and I recommend for anyone, especially at this point in time when "Deep Throat" has been identified.

From what I have read so far, I do not see how significant deep throat was, except for confirming Woodward's hunches and already developed storylines, lakini I will withhold judgement until I finish the book and probably watch the movie. However, my reading of the rest of the book will be done with the knowledge of who deep throat is, I do not know whether this will dilute or enhance my experience. However, it does blow one of my hunches, I thought - not based on any concrete evidence - the Pat Buchanan was probably deep throat, a couple of weeks ago I saw the dude on MSNBC's "Scabourough Country" vehemently speaking against the Washington Post's relentless pursuit of the Watergate story, I think he accused them of witch hunting, and bias. I thought he protested a wee bit too much, like a jamaa who may have been hiding something. Lakini that issue has now been settled.
