It would be morally reprehensible not to tell the truth... Everything I have written has stood the test of time.

Presidents often disappoint, but first ladies rarely do.

I have believed in the biographies I have written. I truly can tell you that they have influenced our society politically, culturally, socially.

Kennedy was haunted by the Bay of Pigs invasion but carried the country through the Cuban Missile Crisis. He later increased the number of U.S. military advisers to South Vietnam to more than 16,000.

I tend to place my own value in spirituality rather than religiosity.

A hero is someone we can admire without apology.

The difference between authorized and unauthorized biographies is the difference between riding in carriage or squatting in steerage.
