After reading your reply, I realized I have heard of Sorenson as the ghost writer. I decided to look it up and indeed he is often credited as the writer.

I noticed some think it was both of them collaborating, by both I mean Sorenson and Sclesinger, not Sorenson and Kennedy.

Yeah, but it comes back to the difficulty of finding actual facts about Kennedy. I don't think the press has ever been much more reliable than they are today, but they used to be trusted a lot more, and people did not used to be as cynical. I don't know of anyone who thinks Hillary actually wrote "It takes a Village." In those days, though, most accepted that Kennedy wrote Profiles in Courage.

I accepted it as it's still the claim of some biographers that he actually wrote it, although like you, I'm skeptical.

I've never read it.
