Of course, some biographers set out to trash some subjects - anyone who enjoys bios of George Armstrong Custer knows that. And some biographers love their subjects. One of the reasons one must read a variety of books to get a handle on the subject. Lately, I’ve been sticking to first-hand accounts and completely skipping some modern biographers.

Hope you had a happy 4th!

I didn't think the idea was at all controversial. Didn't Kitty Kelly trash Nancy Reagan? Of course Biographers often have an agenda!

I did, and I hope you had a happy 4th as well! Still the best country in the world! :)
