My excuse has always been that I just don't have the time. And unlike other authors in politics and the media, I don't have a ghost writer. But it's occurred to me that I've already written one in the body of my 1,600 columns in the \u003cem\u003eDenver Post, Rocky Mountain News \u003c\/em\u003eand other publications over more than three decades. Many have stood up to the test of time and are as relevant today as when I first wrote them. Others are valuable as historical benchmarks to set the record straight and as a correction and rebuttal to revisionist history from the usual suspects. It was Mark Twain who profoundly observed that, \"History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilcox Swanson LLC\/ dba Deer Track Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836370002160,"sku":"9780982352083","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780982352083","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
