The Spy Who Came In From The Cold?

Bob Woodward finally published his version of what his relationship with Mark "Deep Throat" Felt was like. From Woodward's account Felt sounds like a character in a John Le Carré or John Banville novel (His suit was dark, his shirt white and his necktie subdued. He was probably 25 to 30 years older than I and was carrying what looked like a file case or briefcase. He was very distinguished-looking and had a studied air of confidence..."). Among the things I didn't know: (a) Woodward's early stint as a rookie reporter at The Washington Post was a disaster; (b) Woodward did volunteer work for Illinois congressman John Erlenborn, Republican; (c) Not only is All The President's Men is an even better thriller than we'd all thought, but there's another movie waiting to be writen about internecine warfare in J. Edgar's Hoover's FBI.
