among  their key sources was a man whom the authors still tantalizingly refuse to 
name.  They called him ‘*Deep  Throat’, and report only that he was a  
pre-Watergate friend of Woodward's, with ‘extremely sensitive’ antennae. 1974

218/2 In newspaper terminology, this meant the discussions were on  ‘deep 
background’. Woodward explained the arrangements to managing editor Howard  Simons

industrial action emerged last night after the publication of documents leaked  
by a ‘deep throat’ in the National Coal Board.

OT: JUNE 1ST
...
I've been trying to tell Mayor Bloomberg and the  Republican Party just 
what's at stake here today.  It's the entire future  of New York City.
...
Either I run for Manhattan Borough President, and they  help me, and they 
finally honor the African American who called New York City  "the Big Apple," and 
they finally Audrey Munson (our "Civic Fame" model), and I  run on "Free 
wifi! Free toilets! Free speech!" (my councilwoman wants to get rid  of all the 
newspaper boxes for the Village Voice and New York Press), and we get  a West 
Side stadium, the Olympics, and the Super Bowl, or..
...
...I do parking tickets in the room with no air, and  book a cooking tour of 
Sicily.
...
(My sister favors  Sicily.)
