Nobody Believes This, But I Write Very

There Used To Be This Feeling Under Eisenhower And Kennedy And Roosevelt And Truman That Government Was A Solution. Trust In The Presidency Fell Precipitously Under Johnson - Real Lows. And It's Never Come Back. It's A Trend That, If You're Liberal, Is Really Discouraging.

I Never Wanted To Do Biography Just To Tell The Life Of A Famous Man. I Always Wanted To Use The Life Of A Man To Examine Political Power, Because Democracy Shapes Our Lives

The Senate Is An Unknowing World

I Am Trying To Make Clear Through My Writing Something Which I Believe: That Biography- History In General- Can Be Literature In The Deepest And Highest Sense Of That Term.
