Another Deep Throat story:
I'm fascinated by all the stories and reaction over the Deep Throat revelation after all these years. Is this just journalistic solipsism, or is everyone really interested in this story? (Today Romenesko points to a Washington Post story asking why Frank Wills hasn't been mentioned in the stories about who really broke the Watergate story. (Frank Wills, in case you don't remember, was the only black man in the story, the security guard at the Watergate who found the burglars had retaped a door open after he'd removed the first tape he'd found.))
Standing out, though, was the story in the Albany Times-Union about how Mark Felt wasn't the only FBI employee involved in the leaks. The Times-Union's editor has a column asking why the story hasn't gotten more play. He also reveals that Harry Rosenfeld was the source of the story. Rosenfeld was metro editor at the Post during Watergate (and was my boss when he became national desk editor a couple years later); he went on to edit the Times-Union for many years and has written about Watergate on occasion for that paper.
