discussed by the talking heads on the cable news talk channels. The rest will not become part of the discussion. I will read the entire book and will have comments on things not being widely discussed, no doubt.

As for giving money to Bolton, I'm not all that concerned. At the low price for the hardback on Amazon, there's not enough money going to Bolton from one book to buy a decent coffee drink at Starbucks.

My library has many books in it that were written by scoundrels of one sort or another. That I own them and have read them has nothing to do with my opinions of the authors.

I do not rely on third parties to tell me what is in books. Instead, I read them.
