A
forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local
and national issues Question
of the Week: "Now
that Deep Throat has revealed his identity, what are your views
of W. Mark Felt's disclosure and his role in history?"

"I
think he had a major role in history and I'm glad he revealed
himself because I was interested to know who he was."
Jenny Goodman, Cedar Lane

"He
certainly played an important role in bringing down the Nixon
Administration and I think he did the right thing. This is a sign
of the system working." Ned Wingreen,
Patton Avenue

"I
think that it's great that it cleared up what we have all been
wondering about for a long time. I don't know that it is going
to change much in terms of future behavior but it is nice to know
that a former FBI official in the Nixon Administration sought
fit to do what he thought was right for the American people rather
than be true to some kind of honor code. Something was wrong and
he said this was wrong. I hope more people will notice that behavior
and copy it." Theodore Casparian, Princeton-Kingston
Road 
"I
am ambivalent about it. I think those rogues should have been
uncovered the way they were but I don't like the way it was done.
Felt should have come out publicly and regardless of what that
meant to his career, gotten him that way. He would have been vindicated
in a court of law anyway." Guy Balmer, Harriet
Drive

"I
think that it was patriotic and I think that it was a difficult
decision for him given his job and the responsibilities that he
had." Phil Colicchio, Benedek Road
