W. Mark Felt, Nixon's antagonist "Deep Throat," Dies


The man that helped bring about Nixon's downfall died at age 95. A popular misconception is that Nixon wouldn't have fallen without Woodward, Bernstein, and Felt/Deep Throat. There could be some truth to it, but the trio's greatest contribution was to popularize Watergate and add fuel to the investigation as the public learned about the tainted nature of CREEP and all its sunny characters.
