Amazing piece of news. One of my all time favourite movies is All the President's Men (1976) with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, on the Watergate scandal that brought down former US president Dick Nixon. I've seen it probably more than 10 times. It has all the drama of a fantastic script (although the end is a bit too short), and the great character, Deep Throat.
"follow the money": wasn't this one of the greatest lines with "make my day Punk!" and "you talkin' to me? you talkin' to me you ****" ?
and that fantastic scene about double checking a fact: "if I count until ten and you don't hang up, can I publish the story?"
"hello...? hello... ? are you still there? "
"yes"
Tonight, I discover on Russ' blog that the identity of the man is finally uncovered this week. What ? I thought I'd never read about this in my life time. I'll let you follow the links.
Next: who killed JFK?
Update on 9/6/05: Boing Boing has links to MP3 audio tracks of conversations between Nixon & Deep Throat.
