I have wondered in what context he said that as well, blackcat. Perhaps

it was during one of those questioning periods after he'd thrown a chair? Or maybe right around the time he was fired at Indiana? I'm sure it was directed at a journalist...

Nah, he'll use a ghost writer, like most of them do, not realizing he

lends creedence to literature's mastery over all -- it tells the story of greater things done...

Saul_relative

Doesn't he know that after one does the greater things he comes back to writing to tell about doing the greater things. He probably will also.
