Deep Secret

The secret identity of Deep Throat had been an intriguing mystery throughout my adult life. Then, suddenly all ongoing speculation ended without pre-reveal fanfare or the once requisite death of Mr. Throat.

I was particularly astonished to read that in all these many years the very wise Sally Quinn (aka Mrs. Ben Bradlee) never once asked her husband to betray the secret. Perhaps that is the deepest secret: how to obtain the wisdom that leads to such reserve and discretion.
