THE DEEP THROAT BRIEF
An unorthodox solution to the greatest mystery in American politics.

(This article is the result of a web-based project in which readers around the country were asked to pass on any clues they found on the identity of Deep Throat. If you find a news article or book which provides information not included in this essay, please forward it to me at WJRR@writing.com or post a comment on our blog at http://www.deepthroatblog.blogspot.com )


Historical mysteries are without a doubt the hottest literary genre going today. Tom Clancy's techno-thrillers and John Grisham's legal adventures each had their day in the spotlight, but the current craze in America's bookstores (at least for those of us too old for Harry Potter) is Dan Brown's ANGELS & DEMONS and THE DA VINCI CODE, both of which you can expect to see at your local theater in the not-so-distant future.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. As both an amateur historian and a mystery buff, I've been devouring these titles right along with everyone else. The idea of solving a puzzle, following the clues and eventually tying up one of the loose ends of history, is to me the most exciting plot imaginable. There is, however, one way to make a book of this type even more fascinating, and that is to find it shelved in the History section. Granted, the story probably won't have as many murders and plot twists, but tales such as Nicholas Clapp's real-life search for a lost city in THE ROAD TO UBAR (in which the clues ranged from 15th century maps to NASA satellite imagery) would give most armchair detectives the urge to go a-sleuthing.

Most of us, however, don't have the time to travel to foreign countries or pore over ancient documents. But that doesn't mean that we have no options. There is one historical mystery in which the basic clues are readily available at the local library, a mystery that Hollywood has already mythologized on screen. The puzzle has been around since the early 1970s and for a time was the most popular "parlor game" in the country. This one question, four simple words, has stumped journalists, politicians, historians, and amateur detectives for over thirty years...

Who was Deep Throat?

Many people just roll their eyes and laugh when they hear the question. So many people have made so many attempts at finding the answer that the mystery has become something of a joke, the assumption being that anyone trying to solve the puzzle is engaged in a wild goose chase and is just wasting their time. Deep Throat sleuths don't have quite the same stigma as the folks chasing after Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster, but we do have to put up with the occasional smirk.

For those of you too young to remember, or who weren't around at all, Deep Throat was Bob Woodward's secret source of information during the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s. What little we know about him comes from the book ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (ATPM) by Woodward and his fellow reporter at the Washington Post, Carl Bernstein, but the general public's image of Deep Throat comes mainly from Hal Holbrook's portrayal in the movie version. Woodward and Throat had numerous meetings in a Washington area garage, usually in the middle of the night, in which Throat provided enough inside information to keep the Post reporters on the right track. The end result, of course, was the resignation of President Nixon and prison sentences for numerous government officials. Deep Throat has never come forward, and Woodward has vowed to keep his identity secret until Throat dies.

There have been two recent attempts to identify Deep Throat. The best known is a project at the University of Illinois where Prof. William Gaines has a group of journalism students digging through old records trying to determine who knew what and when. The other is a personal effort by John Dean, Nixon's former lawyer, who believes that his experience and contacts with those involved gives him an edge over other investigators. A similar attempt was made a few years ago by Leonard Garment, another Nixon lawyer, who published a book titled IN SEARCH OF DEEP THROAT. Each of these endeavors arrived at different conclusions using different methods, but none has provided a "final" answer to this puzzle - Dean's book UNMASKING DEEP THROAT eventually settled on four possible suspects, Prof. Gaines's suspect was in South America on a day when Deep Throat was in Washington, and Woodward publicly stated that Garment's conclusion was wrong.

In my opinion, each of these attempts overlooked at least one of what I consider to be the two most important clues of all. Besides Woodward and Bernstein, the only other person who knows Deep Throat's identity is Ben Bradlee, their editor during Watergate. Both of these clues are quotes from Mr. Bradlee. The first, which has come to be called the Bradlee Riddle, will be explained later. The other is basically an I-know-something-you-don't taunt that Bradlee has said numerous times when someone asks him about Deep Throat. Bradlee says that he is amazed that Deep Throat's secret has lasted this long, and he predicts that when the answer is finally revealed everyone will be saying "Why didn't I think of that?" The implication here is that the answer is staring us in the face, and anyone with a copy of ATPM and a basic knowledge of the suspects has all the information they need.

It was this implication that sent me on my own Deep Throat hunt and a solution which, though unorthodox, seems to fit every clue and answer every question. The information I used was obtained mainly from ATPM and it's sequel THE FINAL DAYS, the three projects mentioned above, various books by and about the Watergate participants, and numerous "volunteers" around the country who provided some very useful suggestions. The time required was nothing compared to the other attempts, and the only real academic research was an afternoon spent at a college library making copies of the Washington Post's Watergate articles. But Bradlee's comments suggest that this should be all that is needed, and now I think I know exactly what he meant!

I think that the reason no one has solved the Deep Throat mystery is that they have been operating on a set of wrong assumptions. On page 294 of John Dean's book LOST HONOR he talks about a source telling him that "Woodward told several of us, when he was working on his book, that he had deliberately disguised the presentation of Deep Throat to throw people off the track." And the October 2, 2002 edition of the Daily Pennsylvanian carried the following quote from Woodward on Deep Throat: "It's a man, he's alive. The story will be told at one time. It's a fascinating story. It's obvious if you know the answer, but not obvious if you don't." Leonard Garment, Nixon's lawyer, even made the following blunt statement after reading Woodward's book SHADOW: "What Woodward wrote had a concrete basis in reality, but it might not always be the basis that a natural reading of the language would suggest." These quotes strongly suggest that Woodward and Bernstein have somehow misled their readers into a false assumption with regard to Deep Throat's identity, and one possibility comes to mind when we take a look at what John Dean calls the Bradlee Riddle.

Ben Bradlee is the only known person besides Woodward and Bernstein who knows Deep Throat's identity. Consider the following quote from an unnamed source at The Washington Post on page 43 of John Dean's UNMASKING DEEP THROAT:

"Apparently Ben (Bradlee) believes that if someone looked at who had access to the information, and then looked at who was out of town on the dates in question, that alone would resolve it."

That alone would resolve it? How? Did Ben Bradlee make a list of all the suspects, conduct a detailed investigation into the travel schedules of each suspect between October 1972 and November 1973, and discover that Deep Throat was the only one on the list who was present in Washington on all of the required dates? This kind of investigation has already removed some names such as Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger. But all of them except Deep Throat? And why would Bradlee do this kind of research if he already knew Deep Throat's identity? What would be the point of such an exercise?

My friends and I have looked at the Bradlee Riddle from every angle we can imagine. In our view Deep Throat's travel schedule must have been unique in itself, not just in comparison to the other suspects. And the only answer we can see is that Deep Throat must have been someone who wasn't normally in Washington during the time frame in question.

Think about it. You find a suspect who may have had access to the required information - but he was living in, say, California during the months in question. You'd probably consider this a strong alibi. But later you learn that this suspect just happened to be in Washington on all of the required dates. Case closed, right? If the Bradlee Riddle is a valid clue, it just might give us the basis for what Thomas Kuhn called a paradigm shift, a compeletely different way of looking at a problem.

Let's compare this conclusion to an observation made by Barry Sussman, Woodward's boss during Watergate, on page 116 of his book THE GREAT COVER-UP:

"Deep Throat seemed to know everything about Watergate, but he seldom volunteered information. Woodward could never count on seeing him at any given time, and they seldom met at all."

Woodward certainly doesn't give his readers this impression in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. He clearly wants the readers to believe that he could arrange a meeting with Deep Throat just by putting the flower pot signal on his balcony. But I think Woodward had to know in advance when his contact was in town.

With this in mind, one candidate immediately stands out - Ben Stein. Stein was named as a suspect in the May 3 1976 edition of TIME magazine. His father, Herb Stein, was the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Nixon administration, which made him a high-ranking official in the White House. Ben himself became a speechwriter for Nixon in November of 1973, but he was living in Santa Cruz, California, for at least part of the time that Deep Throat was meeting with Woodward. This seems like a strong alibi, but let's keep the Bradlee Riddle in mind as we take a closer look at Ben.

"(Ludwig Wittgenstein) believed that our ordinary daily language is slapdash and that attending to the hidden structure of language will enable us to solve problems."
-David Edmonds and John Eidnow, WITTGENSTEIN'S POKER

Wittgenstein usually applied his ideas on liguistics to philosophical issues, but I think they can be of use in solving this puzzle. Consider the following passage from ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN:

"Deep Throat was already there, smoking a cigarette. He was glad to see Woodward, shook his hand. Woodward told him that he and Bernstein needed help, really needed help on this one. His friendship with Deep Throat was genuine, not cultivated. Long before Watergate, they had spent many evenings talking about Washington, the government, power."

This passage has been the basis for what has been assumed to be the most fundamental clue of the mystery - that Woodward and DT had been friends long before Watergate. But is this clearly stated in the above paragraph? Read it again carefully. Does the word "his" in the fourth sentence refer to Woodward? Could it refer instead to Bernstein, whose name appears in the preceding sentence? Does "they" refer to Woodward and DT? Or to Bernstein and DT? Before answering, consider this: Ben Stein and Carl Bernstein grew up literally next door to each other in Montgomery County, Maryland. Ben's father was an economist and active Republican. Carl's parents were self-professed Communists who went through some difficult years during the 50s and 60s. And yet these two were best friends and remain close today. They certainly spent many evenings talking about "Washington, the government, power" over the years. Many people feel that Deep Throat must be a composite character created by Woodward to protect various sources. Wouldn't it be interesting if the opposite were true - if Woodward disguised himself in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN by making the readers assume that he had known DT for many years, in effect making himself into a composite character. For years people have been trying to connect Woodward to various Deep Throat suspects by investigating his years at Yale, in the Navy, etc. with no results. I think they've been barking up the wrong tree. And it wouldn't have been the first time that Woodward played tricks like this on his readers. On page 26 of Adrian Havill's DEEP TRUTH he describes a novel Woodward wrote during his college years. It was never published, but the manuscript still seems to be floating around. In the final chapter the reader learns that the four major characters are actually a single individual. Woodward seems to have a taste for these little games.

If you're not convinced, check out the following transcript from a 1989 interview with Woodward (the entire conversation is available at www.nixonera.com). Robert Gettlin can't understand why Woodward won't confirm something that seems to be clearly stated in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.

GETTLIN: ....The question has to be asked. Why did Deep Throat or whoever this person or persons were, pick you as someone, or trust you enough to, to give you this information. You mention in your book that he was a friend from way back.
WOODWARD: But, see, you --
GETTLIN: Uh --
WOODWARD: --you were, you were, uh, just --
GETTLIN: Well, maybe you can answer that question. I don't know. Can you answer that question why?
WOODWARD: I think in, in part, and I think you are again walking away and I, I, continually wanna drive you back to the record.
