Editor owns up
The “Washington Post’s” executive editor (Mr Benjamin Bradlee) has acknowledged that he knows the identity of “Deep Throat,” the source who helped the “Post” break the Watergate scandal. Mr Bradlee, answering questions at Columbia University’s graduate Schoolof Journalism said he was making the admission because of issues raised by a hoax story written last year by a “Post” reporter claiming sources , she could not reveal. “I never answered that one until now,” said Mr Bradlee, who was the editor responsible for the Watergate stories written by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that won the “Post” the Pulitzer Prize in 1973. He did not identify “Deep Throat.”— New York
