Goodbye to "Deep Throat"
A half-century ago, Mark Felt was protecting and serving the good people of Utah as the FBI's special agent in charge in Salt Lake City, gathering information on the Mafia's ties to Las Vegas and Reno gambling.
But Felt's greatest service to his country occurred in a Washington, D.C., parking garage - and well outside the FBI's procedures.
Felt, 95, who died Thursday in Santa Rosa, Calif., acknowledged in 2005 that he was "Deep Throat," the informant who gave The Washington Post's Bob Woodward the inside information that helped crack the Watergate story.
