Answer 1

Answer:

In an effort to show that he was merely following orders, former national security adviser John Poindexter has demanded portions of Ronald Reagan's White House diary. His request raises legal issues about which, for the moment, I confess absolutely no interest. Instead, I want to discuss diaries themselves even though, like resolutions, I've never been able to keep one for long.

But there are people who do. Where they get the time, I will never know, but every day, or maybe less frequently, they record their thoughts and activities. Many of them do this while in a state of literary schizophrenia -- writing a private, intimate account of their lives while simultaneously hoping (praying?) for publication.

Once, of course, diaries were strictly confidential, an internal conversation between the author and himself. When such a diary came to light, it illuminated both the diarist and his times. Such was the case with Samuel Pepys, a 17th century Englishman. His diaries offer a wonderfully rich account of his era, including -- most famously -- its sexual mores.
