My Basic Philosophy Is That No Human

I Discovered In Writing The Biography Of Bill Clinton That It Is Actually Easier To Write A Biography Of Someone Who Is Dead. Although You Can't Interview Them, You Have A Fuller Perspective On Their Whole Life After They're Gone And People Are More Willing To Talk About Them.

It Seemed That I Could Tell The Whole Story Pretty Powerfully In Those 18 Months Between October Of '62 And The Spring Of '64 When They Were All At Their Peak. And Yet You Could See Some Of The Shadows Of Detroit's Demise Coming.

It Is?classic Bill Clinton, Sincere And Deceptive At The Same Time, Requiring A Careful Reading Between The Lines.

And Then The Industry Itself Was So Cocky About What They Were Doing That They Weren't Seeing What Was Coming On The Horizon With Japan And Germany And Other Places That Were Building Smaller Cars.

Natural Politicians Are Skilled Actors, Recreating Reality, Adjusting And Ad-libbing, Synthesizing The Scenes, Saying The Same Thing Over And Over Again And Making It Seem That Theyare Saying It For The First Time.
