Well, the mystery of Deep Throat has now been resolved, but some more questions remain:

Couldn’t they have come up with a better codename than “Deep Throat”?
How did they keep this a secret for over 30 years while Nixon couldn’t coverup his secrets for far less than that?
Why did Mark Felt go public now?
Why did he go to Vanity Fair to break it?
Why didn’t he publish a book instead?
