Re: spam the child molester matt parker off the web

Re: spam the child molester matt parker off the web

youthful
years constitutes a politically valid analogy. Third, the Blairs
seem a bit behind the curve on Nixon. If they wanted to find out
the "truth" about Nixon all they had to do was examine his
behavior, and some of the people he employed, in his
congressional campaign against Jerry Voorhis, his senatorial
campaign against Helen Douglas and, most importantly, his
prosecution of Alger Hiss. These all happened before 1951, two
decades before Watergate. Nothing in JFK's political career
compares with them.

The book's ill-explained origin is not its only problem. In its
final form, it seems to be a rush job. I have rarely seen a
biography by a veteran writer (which Clay Blair was) so poorly
edited, written, and organized. The book is nearly 700 pages
long. It could have been cut by a third without losing anything
of quality or substance. The book is heavily reliant on
interviews which are presented in the main text. Some of them at
such length-two and three pages-that they give the volume the air
of an oral history. To make it worse, after someone has stopped
talking, the authors tell us the superfluous fact that his wife
walked into the room, making for more excess verbiage (p.60). And
on top of this, the Blairs have no gift for syntax or language,
let alone glimmering prose. As a result, even for an interested
reader, the book is quite tedious.

The Blairs spend much of their time delving into two areas of
Kennedy's personal life: his health problems and his
relationships
