Do you, or does anyone, remember there was some professor at Cornell (or was it Syracuse) who had a contest to go through the archives and figure out who deepthroat was? Didn't they come up with Felt's name? This would have been about 2 years ago.

Professor William Gaines of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign started the project with students in his Investigative Reporting class of the Department of Journalism.

From my quick review of their site (http://www.comm.uiuc.edu/spike/deepthroat/) and findings, Felt was barely a mention. He wasn't in the list of people ruled out, and didn't make the 7 Most Likely Deep Throat candidates. The prominent website they list on the right didn't work for me, but the report and conclusions can be found using the links down the left of the main site. The 7 finalists are listed here: http://www.comm.uiuc.edu/spike/deepthroat/
Patrick Buchanan, speechwriter and special assistant to the president.
David Gergen, speechwriter, then served as press spokesman for President Reagan.
Jonathan Rose, Attorney for White House relations.
Raymond Price, head speechwriter.
Stephen Bull, a special administrative assistant to Nixon.
Fred Fielding, top assistant to John Dean.
Gerald L. Warren, deputy press secretary under Nixon.

Their favorite as Deep Throat was/is: Patrick Buchanan
