BOOKS: Billy and Me
Journalist Cecil Bothwell pays the price for Billy Graham bio.
By JAMES SHANNON
One of the more interesting books in the fall season has been an unauthorized biography of evangelist Billy Graham. The Prince of War debuted in November, and Beat readers were able to read an excerpt in our Nov. 7 issue. Recently, Cecil Bothwell was in Greenville for a book signing at The Open Book and agreed to answer a few questions.

BOOK EXCERPT
Billy Graham’s voice on the tape is quite distinct. “This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country’s going down the drain.” Graham was talking with Richard Nixon about alleged Jewish control over the news media in the United States. There was nothing unusual about the setting, but this 1972 visit was recorded by a president whose infamous tapes are now scrutinized by legions of curious historians. Hence, thirty years after the words left the good Christian’s mouth, he was forced to defend them when the Associated Press broke the story.
