I worked on Lynne Cheney's memoir years ago (Blue Skies, No Fences). It stood out in particular, because, after the usual pablum (Dick's football games, stupid americana about how beautiful Wyoming is, etc), in the epilogue, almost as an aside, she covered the suicide (or potential murder of her mother by her father), with almost a shrug and attitude "well, they looked into it, but we'll never really know..." Bone chilling.

I still can’t wrap my head around the American exceptionalism around the word “liberal”, which means something entirely different in Europe, Oceania, etc.
