CORKY TRINIDAD, the legendary editorial cartoonist for the Star-Bulletin who died in 2009, is still reaching readers with his mighty pen. 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 “Leak: Why Mark Felt Became Deep Throat,” by Max Holland (University Press of Kansas). The cartoon depicts Felt with a keyhole-shaped mouth holding a key in his hand, readying to unlock his identity. It was Corky’s way of acknowledging that the most famous whistleblower in U.S. history only talked publicly when he was good and ready.

SHERATON WAIKIKI’S ballroom was the place to be last Saturday when Metropolitan Rotary held a dinner-dance fundraiser for community service projects with a 1930s “gangsta” theme, starring singer Jimmy Borges with the Swing City Players big band. Hank Leandro introduced Jimmy and also sang. About 350 attended. Men were dressed like mobsters, wearing fedoras and pinstriped suits. Their molls were gorgeous in flapper fashions with boas and flashy headbands. Many kicked up their high heels with their guys on the dance floor. Some $13,000 was raised, much of it from the silent auction, said event chair Lee Mansfield. Good job! …
