Deep Throat Chokes


For the Last Time.

According to the newspaper, he had suffered two strokes in recent years, and his memory of the Watergate era had almost completely vanished because of Alzheimer's disease.

Mystery surrounded the identity of Deep Throat - named after a popular pornographic movie of the time - for decades, until Mark Felt admitted being the source in 2005.
"I'm the guy they used to call Deep Throat," he told the US magazine Vanity Fair in an article that revealed his secret.
Vale Mark Felt.

When I lived in Washington in the 1980s it was interesting to go and visit the complex, with the unusual circular structure along the banks of the Potomac, with all the normal stuff that people need, newsagents, hairdressers, cafes and to think that a little incident within that complex and the bravery of some journalists and a man called Mark Felt had brought down Tricky Dicky.

If only that Alzheimers had kicked in 40 years ago. Nixon may have made it through his Presidency and Dubya may have never become President. Now the second one is wishful thinking and the first one is just speculation.

He even outlived the director of the movie, who choked earlier.

Hi Colin,
I lived in Foggy Bottom, in the Virginia Plaza at
Virginia Ave & 23rd St. NW, and went to the Watergate building down the street, to shop at the Safeway there (I was flew off the escalator there, with my grocery bags). The Watergate Pastry shop (yammy!) was lovely, as was sitting at the tables in the courtyard, by the fountain, on a warm spring evening, with a Happy Hour drink.

Merry Christmas,
happy holidays,
Merisi

Bush makes a saint of Nixon in my humble opinion. Haymarket, Va is past Manasas along #66. We live in near the Manasas Civil War battlefields so our local high school is called Battlefield High.

I used to work in Herndon, running out the Dulles Toll Road on a regular basis. I didn't get out to Manassas, but considered that the sticks when I first moved to Washington DC in the mid 80s. I am sure it is part of the suburban sprawl by now.
