Arnold Bennett was a writer I admired. He was actually taking notes at his father's deathbed.

I feel like the writer observing the grief, but it is difficult to be detached from it.

We're taking notes very seriously.

The writer is the visionary of his people... He anticipates, he warns.

President Bush is supporting Arnold but a lot of Republicans are not, because he is actually quite liberal. Karl Rove said if his father wasn't a Nazi, he wouldn't have any credibility with conservatives at all.

He never admitted anything, even on his deathbed. He was a deluded liar. If it weren't for my father, I don't think I would be so open. So that's a huge blessing.
