So, Deep Throat reveals Himself

Could this be so? I remember how this event took over the air waves for months. I remember President Nixon denying any involvement, then his resignation. This was "The" news story of the time and caused a great deal of doubt in many people's minds about the trustwothiness of the Government. I am surprised by the announcement. I was always ready to wait until after Deep Throat's death for someone to come out and name the "Source".
