...ghostwritten book, Trump: The Art of the Deal, which has been on the best-seller lists for almost a year (partly because of Trump's own purchases). Trump says he will donate his estimated $1.5 million in royalties to United Cerebral Palsy, the American Cancer Society and AIDS research (his overall donations to charity run about $4 million a year). The success of the book has inspired Random House to offer a reported $3 million for a sequel...

But when he proudly submitted a 20-page report on Napoleon, the teacher accused him of having it ghostwritten by an older sister. That confrontation ended with Wilson defiantly shredding the essay.

She is credited with having ghostwritten her husband's best seller The Venetian Painters of the Renaissance (1894) and with possessing an eye good enough to attribute paintings in his name. She was also adept at smuggling national treasures out of Italy...
...elder Kennedy's fingerprints all over the political controls. "It was like being drafted," J.F.K. later told Columnist Bob Considine. "My father wanted his eldest son in politics. 'Wanted' isn't the right word. He demanded it." He also molded the Kennedy image by promoting J.F.K.'s essentially ghostwritten Profiles in Courage and having his friend New York Times Columnist Arthur Krock lobby the Pulitzer board of advisers. The book won a Pulitzer Prize...
