<p>Interesting footnote to this story. In Bob Woodward’s article today about Deep Throat, he told the story of how he and Mark Felt first met. Woodward was sitting in a White House waiting room, along with Felt, whom he did not yet know. Woodward was in a quasi gap year, and drifting abit. “To quell my angst and sense of drift, I was taking graduate courses at George Washington University. One course was in Shakespeare and another in international relations.” </p>

<p>He was having some trouble getting Felt to speak to him, but kept at it. “When I mentioned the graduate work to Felt, he perked up immediately, saying he had gone to night law school at GW in the 1930’s before joining - and this is the first time he mentioned it - the FBI.” Then, like any good GW student, Felt had interned with a member of Congress. “So we had two connections - graduate work at GW and work with elected representatives from our home states.”</p>

<p>Considering that GW owns the hotel from which the Watergate burglars’ lookout was posted, and now this, Watergate is a GW story !</p>

<p>um, actually, no. . . . . . I read it by (let me explain how this is done) holding large, thin portfolios of paper in my hands. It’s called a “newspaper”. (smiley face of some kind !)</p>

<p>Seriously, I didn’t see it online. Try to google the Washington Post.</p>

<p>Okay-I found it. I just assumed that you cut and pasted it from the internet.
