3. Yes, that's a great line. |

But I'll admit that I think she got off lightly on the plagerism wrap.
Even her book "Team of Rivals" is a re-do of one written in the '40s that Eleanor Roosevelt gave to friends.
She's a lazy researcher.
I LOVED her book on the Dodgers and I think the structure/idea of the book on the Roosevelt's was BRILLIANT. But the research was shoddy. She/they missed/ignored some key primary information on what a shit FDR was to Eleanor after her brother died. Had they included that, the first third of the book would have had a very different tone.
