I agree he does not need a diary etc to write such a book as there is much already out there that he could use for historical backup to his own memories.

I think maybe though by what he has said, I cannot remember when or where is was and to who, but it was to the question of whether there would be a book, it was an indication that he did not want to write one or even commission one to be written about him.

I think it was really an excuse the thing about never keeping a diary though he may also have been giving a signal to the people that he has worked with and for that they should have not fear of him doing a dirt digging exposay of their lives both public or private in the near or far future.

As Mary Cheney is now writing a book about last year's campaign maybe he will allow her to write one about him and his life at least then it would be someone he could trust implicitly to write only what he wanted and though his wife is an author he may feel it would not be correct for her to do it but a daughter maybe that is different.

Only time will tell though but like you I hope so because there is so little written about him all I have been able to find it a book aimed at young people nothing really for adults apart from lies and vitriol.

Hopefully, as their time in office draws to a close, the VP will come to realize he has a duty to history to at least leave a record of 9/11 and it's immediate aftermath. You and I both know he is a reserved and very private man. Nevertheless, he and GWB already belong to history. I would like the historical record to include their own first-hand accounts rather than just 2nd hand accounts from other sources.
