Enrollment coordinated by Jeff Cuthbert <cuthbert@sc.edu> BEN MARGOT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Joan Felt and her father W. Mark Felt wave to the media gathered in front of their home Tuesday in Santa Rosa, Calif. ■ DEEP THROAT Continued from page 2 Felt told The Hartford Courant in 1999. “I would have been more effective. Deep Throat didn’t exactly bring the White House crashing down, did he?” Felt had hoped to succeed mentor J. Edgar Hoover as FBI director after Hoover’s death, but was passed over by Nixon for the job. Nixon chief counsel Charles “Chuck” Colson worked closely with Felt in the Nixon administration and expressed surprise at the disclosure. “Mark first served this country with honor, and I can’t imagine how Mark Felt was sneaking in dark alleys leaving messages under flower pots and violating his oath to keep this nation’s secrets. I cannot compute that with the Mark Felt that I know,” Colson said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. Colson pleaded no contest to an obstruction of justice charge in the Watergate scandal and served time in prison. Another Nixon associate who wound up behind bars, G. Gordon Liddy, said he didn’t consider Felt a hero for going to the Post reporters. “If he were interested in performing his duty, he would have gone to the grand jury with his information,” Liddy, who was finance counsel at Nixon’s re election committee and helped direct the break-in, said in an interview on CNN. 1 he rBl declined to comment Tuesday on Felt’s admission. Woodward and Bernstein were the first reporters to link the Nixon White House and the break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters. Nixon, facing almost-certain impeachment for helping to cover up the break-in, resigned in August 1974. Forty government officials and members of Nixon’s re election committee were convicted on felony charges. Felt was convicted in the 1970s for authorizing illegal break-ins at homes of people associated with the radical Weather Underground. He was pardoned by President Reagan in 1981.
