  Deep Throat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deep Throat is the pseudonym that was given to a secret source who leaked information about the involvement of U.S. President Richard Nixon's administration in the Watergate first break-in and subsequent events that came to be known as the Watergate scandal.
The identity of "Deep Throat" was one of the biggest mysteries of American politics and journalism in recent times, and for more than 30 years, the source of much public curiosity.
Dean had been one of the most dedicated hunters of "Deep Throat." Both he and Leonard Garment dismissed Fielding as a possibility, reporting that he had been cleared by Woodward in 1980 when Fielding was applying for an important position in the Ronald Reagan administration.

 Journalism sourcing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While Woodward and Bernstein could use what they'd been told in their investigations, they could not quote Deep Throat directly or indirectly, nor give any identifying information as to who he was or how they were able to communicate with him.
In their book about Watergate, All the President's Men, Deep Throat consented to move from deep background to background and the public became aware of the existence of this source.
Most journalists would understand "deep background" to mean that the information may not be included in the article but is used by the journalist to enhance his or her view of the subject matter, or to act as a guide to other leads or sources.

 Deep Background - Designing Interfaces
Backgrounds that have soft focus, color gradients, and other distance cues appear to recede behind the more sharply defined content in front of it.
But the outer parts of the image, which are much softer, are deep backgrounds for other content: the search box, the four small image at bottom, and the "4MATIC All-Wheel Drive" tagline.
A translucent smoked-glass background highlights those white links by increasing contrast; it balances the page (which otherwise is right-weighted); it doesn't obscure the nice background image; and it adds a sense of layered depth.

 Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - the background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Deep Background is composed of biological skills and universally human capacities, such as eating, walking, and seeing given patterns of perceptual stimuli as discrete objects.
The Local Background, by contrast, is composed of culturally-bound skills and capacities, such as knowing what culturally-specific objects are for, recognizing culturally-specific situations as appropriate or inappropriate for certain types of behavior, and so forth.
Searle's response to the suggestion that the Background's cognitive capacities are a kind of tacit knowledge would probably be that Background capacities are not themselves a form of knowledge (such as beliefs, theories, empirical hypotheses, and so forth) but rather are the preconditions of knowledge.

 Background from FOLDOC
The Local Background, by contrast, is composed of culturally-bound skills and capacities, such as knowing what culturally-specific objects are for, recognising culturally-specific situations as appropriate or inappropriate for certain types of behaviour, and so forth.
This raises the possibility that at least some Background capacities can be described as a kind of tacit knowledge or cognitive unconscious in the sense of Reber (1995), which may implicate them as induced abstract generalisations of some sort.
The relation of this view of the Background to the Background skills described above as automatised motor skills is obscure, as the latter seem more or less independent of the generation of psychological events.

 FBI's No. 2 Was 'Deep Throat'
Deep Throat, the secret source whose insider guidance was vital to The Washington Post's groundbreaking coverage of the Watergate scandal, was a pillar of the FBI named W. Mark Felt, The Post confirmed yesterday.
Even Nixon was caught on tape speculating that Felt was "an informer" as early as February 1973, at a time when Deep Throat was supplying confirmation and context for some of The Post's most explosive Watergate stories.
"Deep Throat" was a blend of the rules of engagement Felt had with Woodward -- "deep background" -- and the title of a notorious pornographic movie.

 •Thee•|•Second•|•Couming -- Deep Backgrounds --
A central theme in McLuhan's reflection on biotechnology was that under conditions of deep stress, the organism anesthetizes the area affected, displacing the shock to peripheral regions.
His discourse took as its working premise that the most insidious effect of technology lay in its deep colonization of biology, of the body itself; and, moreover, in its implicit claim, that technology is the new locus of the evolutionary principle.
For McLuhan the technological "sensorium" was precisely that: an artificial amplification, and transferal, of human consciousness and sensory organs to the technical apparatus, which now, having achieved the electronic phase of "simultaneity" and "instantaneous scope", returns to take its due on the human body.

In the midst of all this intrigue, Addis is also under pressure to choose sides between the former vice president and the first lady as the nominating convention draws near.
