Deeply Felt


Deeply Felt 06/05/2005 10:55 PM
Since I spent a good couple of months in 2002 editing John Dean's e-book "Unmasking Deep Throat," I had my own interest in today's news unveiling former FBI honcho Mark Felt as the original deep-background source for Woodward and Bernstein's Watergate reporting. But if this outcome felt anti-climactic, it's not just because the conclusions Dean so painstakingly reached -- among other things, that Deep Throat was almost certainly an attorney, and that he couldn't have been at the FBI -- were simply wrong (to be fair, it appears that the bobbing and weaving Woodward and Bernstein have done through the years. and Felt's own vehement disavowals, left a somewhat deceptive trail for the attentive sleuth). And it's not just because Felt has been the "most likely suspect" for over a decade now.

It's really because it marks the end of the mystery at the heart of the investigative-reporting act that inspired my generation of journalists. I was 15 years old in 1974; I listened to the Watergate hearings in the car radio every morning as I rode with my dad on the way to my summer job. I chose to become a journalist at perhaps the one moment in American history at which the public's trust in reporters was higher than its faith in political leaders. The naming of Deep Throat represents the final coda to this old story -- and reminds us of how much things have changed.

Meanwhile, the current generation of executive malfeasance awaits its comeuppance. Which public servant will step forward, in shadows, pseudonymously or not, to blow a loud whistle on this decade's lies? Or has the Deep Throat of the George Bush White House already fed his tips -- say, to Seymour Hersh -- but we're simply too fatalistically inured to the "disassembling" of our leaders to do anything about it?

  • Washington Post: Kill This Amendment. Precisely because of the weight conservatives have put on this issue, today's vote, despite its preordained outcome, has become deeply important. It requires senators to take a public stand on a question of deep principle: Are they willing to warp the entire American constitutional structure to prevent people who love one another from marrying?
  • The amendment is going to lose, but it's dismaying that so many senators -- calling this a moral issue -- are willing to change the Constitution to turn some Americans into second-class citizens. Where's the morality in that?

    Across the great divide 09/04/2004 09:18 PM
    I first pointed to this stunning Valdis Krebs infographic back in March 2004, when the New York Times published it. Krebs has long been fascinated with the clusters that emerge from an analysis of Amazon's related-purchase data. I was reminded of his chart the other day when I heard this exchange (Real, 1 min, 40 sec) between Terri Gross and Norman Podhoretz, which includes this quote:
    I have almost no friends any longer who are liberal, and I suspect this is true of most people on both sides of the divide. Since the sixties, the polarization has become more intense, and there are fewer and fewer friendships that can be sustained across the divide in this country.

    What religious differences used to be, and aren't any more (in our world, not the Muslim world), political differences have become. They've acquired a kind of religious intensity, and are tinged with a kind of intolerance that used to characterize religious differences. [Norman Podhoretz, inteviewed by Terri Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, Real, 20 min.)
    Having lived on both sides of the chasm -- he was a radical liberal before he became a founder of neoconservativism -- Podhoretz seems to have a rare appreciation of the great divide. I suspect the majority of us, not having lived on both sides, lack that same gut-level appreciation. ...
