Corky’s cartoon of Mark Felt, the shadowy FBI official who revealed himself as the Watergate source “Deep Throat” in 2005, is the jacket cover art on the newly released book <a span="" style="color: #0000FF;" href="http://bit.ly/HltY9y" target="_blank">“Leak: Why Mark Felt Became Deep Throat,”</a> by Max Holland (University Press of Kansas).
