Let me say what I had that nobody else had. I had apoint of view that I wasn't going to try to write another iconic book about President Kennedy. I wanted to answer his own question when he read biographies: what's he like? Yes, I did. I was from a Republican family, and at the time I was a kid. I loved my father, and he was a Republican, and that's how I was born. I was probably more Republican than he was. I thought Kennedy was glamorous, Catholic, and all that, and then I just began to feel for Nixon, the underdog and foreign-policy expert, and it just seemed to be the solid thing to do.
