Mark Felt died last week at the age of 95. For those who don't recognize that name, Felt was the "Deep Throat" of Watergate fame. (hyperlinks for subscribers only-free trial) It was Felt who provided Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post with a flow of leaks about what had happened, how it happened and where to look for further corroboration on the break-in, the cover-up, and the financing of wrongdoing in the Nixon administration. Woodward and Bernstein's exposé of Watergate has been seen as a high point of journalism, and their unwillingness to reveal Felt's identity until he revealed it himself three years ago has been seen as symbolic of the moral rectitude demanded of journalists.

I was recently asked, in my capacity as a negotiations coach, what was my opinion of the Detroit automobile manufacturer's bailout. I am completely opposed to it, but for a reason that politicians and the media have not discussed. Detroit's auto manufacturers always employed flawed concepts when dealing with the United Auto Workers. Essentially, they engaged in "bargaining", not negotiating. At the heart of the problem is what negotiators call "mission and purpose." The auto manufacturers believed that negotiating was the same as bargaining, but bargaining requires a mindset that requires compromise.
