WHERE IS DEEP THROAT WHEN WE NEED HIM? with John O'Connor & Joan

If it seems we're a little short on integrity in government these days, it's good to hear a story of a real American hero, the kind who has the courage to put his own safety on the line for the sake of honor and truth. Mark Felt is that kind of man. In this fascinating dialogue you'll discover the many layers of the man who was "Deep Throat", the deputy director of the FBI who helped Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein break the cycle of corruption in the Nixon administration as presented in the 1978 film "All The President's Men". Attorney John O'Connor worked with Mark Felt to write the book that at last tells the details of those clandestine late-night meetings in a parking garage, and what was at stake for the man who saw a terrible wrong and risked everything to make it right. Mark's daughter, Joan Felt, was a flower child who knew little of her father's work, but had great disdain for the power matrix he worked for. Now she speaks with reverence of her love and respect for his courage, and of a man whose character grows ever stronger with age. In John O'Connor's words, "Mark lived his life for other people-not as some sort of a martyr, but he got satisfaction out of his work because he was helping citizens".
