Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.

Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.

The biggest rap on me is that I don't find a Watergate every couple of years. Well, Watergate was unique. It's not something Carl Bernstein, I, or the Washington Post caused.

The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.

Suppose Watergate had not been uncovered? I'd still be on the City Desk.

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

I don't think it's useful for somebody to argue with reviews.
