This is one memoir that can be safely said to be written by its subject. No ghost-writer would leave in passages most people would sooner skip over.
Not necessarily -- didn't Hillary prattle on for pages about nonsense nobody cares about? And she had at least three ghostwriters!
"This is one memoir that can be safely said to be written by its subject."
Yes, let's give old Bill some credit for that while we're having fun reading the pans!
This from my own deduction from a USA Today article describing Clinton's writing process which entailed many meetings with Todd Widmer, former speechwriter. The article said Clinton used Widmer as a "sounding board".
Uh, right.
Dick Morris (unsavory, perhaps, but truthful in his own way) has stated that Clinton would have others write his speeches, then copy them down longhand--embellishing, of course--so he could say "I wrote it myself". This USA Today article mentioning Widmer did say Clinton was writing it all down longhand on legal pads.
BTW, it also mentioned 85--count 'em, 85--audio tapes he made while in office that he was using for reference for the book.
