Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.

After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.

Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.
opportunity hands giving
I deal with first-hand sources. And give the people, even John Sununu, the opportunity to respond to what I've been told by first-hand sources.
