Allow me to ask this question - do you reply upon the National Enquirer for your news, or the New York Times?

The difference between Gaston Means charecter assissination on Warren G. Harding (the ghost written "The Strange Death of President Harding") and Robert Ferrell's the Strange Deaths of President Harding (note the play on words) is the difference between pouring pure sugar down your gullet or eating what is best for the body. Means simply gave his ghost writer - a former tabloid writer - vague recollections; Ferrell relied upon primary source material which resulted in a well researched, well documented and well written book. I might add that Means was found guilty for grand larceny when he defrauded Evalyn Walsh McLean out of money that Means claimed would pay the ransom on the Linburgh baby - he died in prison.

I have always found that when people know the truth, they do not fear the truth as do those who think they have the facts right. Side-stepping the issue in front of the Harding heir was a very telling action.
