It's certainly something I'm interested in. I think it's just that it was a breaking story. I bet you'll see quite a lot of coverage, and real interest, in this topic.

Does press coverage = real interest?
Of course the press is interested, Watergate is the kind of thing that validates the existance of a free press, something they are having a very hard time with lately. (CBS/Newsweek/NYtimes to name a few)
This was a shining moment for the press, when they caught a president lying and forced him out of office for it. THEY will be most interested. Its in their best interest to remind us all how important they really are.
On the other hand if you ask the 'man on the street' about Deep Throat, do you think he will be thinking about Nixon or about Linda Lovalace?
