The young Ephron was a savvy and expansive media critic, weighing the news value of the private lives of political figures long before that question was exploited by Ken Starr and today’s cruder media. When she wrote about a publication — the Palm Beach Social Pictorial, for example, or the newsletter of her D.C. apartment building — she simultaneously wrote about a place, its culture, and the times. For many years, Ephron was one of the very few people who knew the identity of Deep Throat, the anonymous informer for articles written by her ex-husband Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward uncovering the Watergate scandal. [38] Ephron read Bernstein's notes, which referred to Deep Throat as "MF"; [38] Bernstein said it stood for "My Friend", but Ephron correctly guessed it stood for Mark Felt, the former associate director of the FBI. [38] I particularly enjoyed Ephron’s magazine journalism from the 1970s, especially her articles about the dawn of the Women‘s Movement, which vividly evoke the sense of possibility, solidarity and excitement (not to mention the petty infighting and rivalries) of those early days.
