Nowhere do secrets have a higher mortality rate than in Washington, D.C. The capital swarms with leaking bureaucrats and a prying press corps. Incurable gossips are wall to wall. Yet one mystery has proved as snoop-resistant as it is tantalizing: the identity of "Deep Throat," the shadowy underground-garage habitué who is currently providing the same suspense in the film version of All the President's Men that he brought to the bestselling Watergate book by the Washington Post's reporting...
...Woodward and Carl Bernstein book, The Final Days (TIME, March 29), have combined to revive the search for the tattler-patriot who served the Nixon Administration while helping to bring it down.

...cannot stay on a starvation diet; anorexics can. All the patients who come in want to weigh 100 pounds. We're dealing with patients with a stubborn streak and strong will-power. In behavior modification we say, "If you're not good we'll stick the tube down your throat or not give you certain privileges.' Patients have an apt phrase for this--they say they'll eat their way out of the hospital--but that doesn't mean they're straightened out in the head. For the dangerous ones [20 per cent of anorexics], maybe we should develop...
