Excerpt from Who Was the Mother of Franklin's Son: An Historical Conundrum, Hitherto Given Up Now Partly Answered
One of the greatest penalties of fame is the attendant publicity it gives to all the actions and utterances of its winners. Everything said or done is sooner or later subject to microscopic study, and as this scrutiny is directed against men, not gods, it is but too evident that time, that silent but all powerful judge, will develop and investigate flaws and errors in even our greatest and best.
The interests of truth and history require a recognition and due weighing of these missteps, but with a certain cult they are dealt with in a way that to most readers and students savors too strongly of the popular idea of scandal-mongery. Attention is called to these failings, they are repeated and put in print. Undue prominence is given to the smallest incidents, and the whole too often smacks of ill-concealed pleasure.
