	Bookreporter.com - IN SEARCH OF DEEP THROAT by Leonard Garment
		Leonard Garment became acting special counsel to President Richard Nixon after the Watergate story broke and during the two years or so that it dominated the news.
		Garment acknowledges all the well-known Nixon faults --- the ruthless vindictiveness toward enemies, the loathing of the press, the thuggish political instincts; but he also sees good qualities that he regrets were overtaken and overwhelmed by the man's dark side.
		He was, says Garment, "thoughtful, knowledgeable and sophisticated" and had a "poetic nature." Garment presents himself as a liberal surrounded by ruthless conservative activists in the Nixon inner circle.

		Garment eventually entered ``a profession that paid large rewards for precision, hard work, and personal agility and did not demand great originality or perfect pitch.'' After Brooklyn Law School, he became a junior partner in the Manhattan firm where Nixon landed after losing to Pat Brown in the 1962 California governor's race.
		Garment seemed to have a claim on Nixon's conscience and may be responsible for Nixon's status as the last liberal president.
		Leonard Garment is also a clear-eyed lawyer who knows that he did not need to know everything: ``Placed on the fringe of Nixon's life, I was exposed mainly to his attractive sides -- his intelligence, idealism, and generosity.

		Leonard Garment: Whether to stick the course in Vietnam or whether to get out, was the crucial event in his presidency, in my view, because everything else flowed from that.
		Leonard Garment: Stop using the word ‘peculiar.’ I mean, I don’t think we should discuss Nixon as being neurologically this or psychiatrically that.
		Leonard Garment: Well, this was early in the Nixon presidency when the flowers were in bloom and the honeymoon was still on in April of 1969.

		Garment recounted his experiences in an October 20 article for Forbes under the headline "Mid-list Crisis." As laid out for the magazine's readers, Garment's appraisal of the book industry is one of shock and dismay.
		Garment told BTW last week that it was that conversation with Vitale, along with his discovery of Mark Crispin Miller's June article in The Nation headlined "The Crushing Power of Big Publishing," that convinced him something was terribly wrong in the book industry.
		And as the level of "cultural discourse" in America continues to decline, Garment says he worries that chain stores are placing themselves in a precarious position by responding too readily to demand for celebrity books, for coffee bars, and other generic goods and services that feed the bottom line.

	The Bard Observer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Leonard Garment, who served as Counsel to the President during the Watergate scandal, recently authored a book, In Search of Deep Throat, in which he concludes that Throat was John Sears, another Nixon lawyer and advisor.
		After more analysis, Garment then came to the conclusion that Bernstein's source and Deep Throat were one and the same, and that Woodward and Bernstein had neglected to mention that in order to throw people off track and create confusion about Throat's identity.
		However, while Garment appeared to be satisfied, the idea that one man was both Throat and a different source fails to pass greater scrutiny.

	Len Garment Kills the Messenger Timothy Noah
		Garment doesn't say so, but the "Super Secretaries" plan (which never came to fruition) would surely have worried Mark Felt, the FBI associate director, who was fingered as Deep Throat by James Mann in an Atlantic Monthly article that remains the most persuasive thing Chatterbox has ever read on this subject.
		Garment's response to this setback is to call Woodstein a pair of liars and to call me dishonest for believing them and not him.
		Garment would do better to direct his plea to Deep Throat himself--whoever he or she is. The answer probably won't tell us anything we don't already know about Watergate, but it would be fun to know.

	Nixon Adviser Tells All / Leonard Garment's reflection on the subtle ironies and blunt cruelties of Watergate-era ...
		Garment notes that ``when this eerily prophetic cartoon appeared in September 1973, jokes were the least of my problems,'' and we can certainly see why.
		Garment is equally insightful when, as a fledgling saxophonist, he apprenticed himself to African American jazz musicians in what he decribes as the still-segregated America of the 1940s.
		Just as Garment ``snapped out'' of his debilitating depression by throwing himself into Watergate as Nixon's protector, so, he indicates, did the nation turn to Watergate as ``the distraction of the century'' that kept voters and politicians away from the real work of running the country.

		The aides finally went to the hospital and talked over the problem with Nixon, Garment writes, and there was general agreement that ''the tapes could not lawfully be destroyed,'' as the Senate Watergate Committee had made clear its intention to subpoena them.
		A former New York law partner of Nixon, Garment was a Democrat in the Nixon White House who advised the president on domestic policy and got drawn into the fight to save his presidency.
		Garment writes that for two days ''there were virtually nonstop discussions'' among himself, Buzhardt, chief of staff Alexander Haig and lawyer Douglas Parker.

	EXECUTIVE SUMMARY by Inslaw
		On October 6, 1986, one week before Leonard Garment and the other members of the law firm's Senior Policy Committee met to vote on the decision to expel INSLAW's lead counsel from the firm, Garment had a social luncheon regarding INSLAW with Deputy Attorney General Arnold Burns.
		During the luncheon, Burns complained to Garment about the litigation strategy that INSLAW's lead counsel was pursuing in its lawsuit against the Department and signalled to Garment his willingness to discuss a settlement, according to Burns' later disclosures to the Senate Permanent Investigations Subcommittee.
		Moreover, Garment elaborated on this claim, reportedly telling at least one journalist that it was a discussion of a "back channel" communication that Garment had had with the Government of Israel about the Pollard case, which Garment described to the journalist as a national security problem affecting both Israel and the U.S. Justice Department.

		Garment rejects the speculation that Deep Throat was either 1) a fiction, or 2) a composite, as I have often thought.
		Garment builds the case for Sears on circumstantial evidence, and on points of personal style.

	Deep Throat \| Watergate \| Richard Nixon \| Leonard Garment
		It was a delight for the general public --- and especially for those of us who doted on the Greek concept of the fatal flaw that must forever haunt those who are in power.
		Leonard Garment, author of In Search of Deep Throat, worked with Richard Nixon over the years, was special consultant on domestic policy at the White House starting in 1969.
		Like the lawyer he is, Garment is fond of backtracking over the same evidence again and again, which makes the reading less of an adventure in truth and more of a trial for the long-suffering reviewer.

	CD Review of Duke Ellington - 1969: All-Star White House Tribute on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		A few years ago, Garment’s artistic side got the best of him when the law firm that employed him expressed serious displeasure, to say the least, when, during his tenure there, Garment released his autobiography, Crazy Rhythm.
		Garment didn’t forget his years as an itinerant saxophonist with Herman, and he is instrumental for setting in motion the release of Duke Ellington: 1969 All-Star White House Tribute.
		Conover assembled a who’s who of jazz musicians to participate in the event, and the Blue Note CD containing 28 tracks of Ellington compositions is notable because they are performed by artists not normally associated with Ellington, such as Dave Brubeck or Jim Hall.
