...story took some of Dole's top advisers by surprise. Bill Bennett, Dole's national co-chairman and the best-selling author of The Book of Virtues, didn't know whether the allegations were true but had no doubt they raised a legitimate issue.

And don't labor to make heroes of the nonheroic. Airbrushing swimmer Gary Hall Jr., the spoiled grandson of savings and loan cheat Charles Keating Jr., by not mentioning that he was a major goof-off, blowing up mailboxes and tearing up golf courses, is formulaic hagiography.
