Then there are those who have insinuated that Kearns's relationship with Goodwin means she is "dominated" by him. The notion of Kearns, a White House fellow who has written a book, ghostwritten a presidential autobiography, and taught a Harvard course for several years, as "unliberated" is laughable. Moreover, it's nobody's business...
...predecessor, Eisaku Sato: a reasonably successful meeting of the minds with Richard Nixon on U.S.-Japanese economic matters in Hawaii, and a historic summit with Chou En-lai in Peking. Tanaka was all over the headlines, the TV tube and even the bestseller lists -with an imaginative-sounding but ghostwritten book entitled A Plan for Remodeling the Japanese Archipelago, which offered some slick, idyllic proposals for controlling the country's urban sprawl...
...Kopechne left the party at a cottage on the island, why and how he failed to summon help immediately instead of waiting until the next morning when his car was discovered under the Dike Bridge. A week afterward, he went on television with a carefully crafted and largely ghostwritten statement, pleading that while his conduct was indeed "indefensible," his doctors "informed me that I suffered a cerebral concussion as well as shock." In the national mind, the lacunae and the doubts remain. That night will surely be replayed endlessly if Kennedy wins the nomination...

Often enough, he and Anderson get their facts askew through careless checking or the fear of losing a story. Pearson, for example, claimed that Kennedy's Profiles in Courage was ghostwritten. The Kennedys promptly produced evidence to the contrary. Pearson taunted Secretary of Defense James Forrestal for fleeing in fear when a burglar held up his wife; in fact, Forrestal was elsewhere and unaware of the robbery. Not long after the accusation, Forrestal committed suicide, and many people blamed Pearson...
