Biographer Edmund Morris has made a career of charting the lives of Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Finally done with his TR trilogy with this month's publication of Colonel Roosevelt, he's looking for new projects, and country music has caught his attention. "As I finish a book, the subject goes out of my mind," he says. "I had no trouble writing biographies of Ronald Reagan and Beethoven in between these three [Roosevelt] volumes, and could start one tomorrow on [singer] Taylor Swift, if that cutie would permit me."
