The accuracy of the biographer vs serial blood glucose measurements was studied in diabetic subjects in a controlled clinic environment, a simulated home environment, and the home environment.

 The WELL: Paul Israel, biographer of Thomas Edison
I seem to remember the playwright bringing up the antisemitic aspects in a subtle way and that Harding was portrayed as a bit of a doofus.
In his later years Edison attempted to build a device that could communicate with the dead based on his idea that the atoms that made up the universe each contained a life force that would retain memories of past lives.
I'm not in my office so I don't have the citation handy (I'll post it after I get back next Monday) but there is some fellow who claims that through a seance in which Edison was contacted he was able to obtain the plans for the device.

After reading a biography of Elmer Bole, Phineas refocuses his energies toward writing a biography of Bole's biographer, and his pursuit of information makes the novel resemble a set of Chinese boxes; each life that Phineas examines opens up doors to the lives of several others.

 BOOK FORUM--Reading The Biographer's Tale
Shortly after The Biographer's Tale appeared, Byatt spoke of biography as a form of "possession," explaining her reluctance to write one as a reluctance to be taken over by her subject matter: "I do not wish to spend most of my life on somebody else's life—not one other person's life" ("Primitive Fear of Possession" 16).
If one aspect of biographical "possession" is the tendency of the subject to overtake the biographer, another is the biographer's tendency to appropriate his subject.
The biographer of Friedrich Schiller, Oliver Cromwell, John Sterling, and Frederick the Great, Carlyle saw biography as the art of arts: "There is no heroic poem in the world but is at bottom a biography, the life of a man" ("Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott" 297).

The biographer obtained evidence at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA II) that Bayerlein was of "non-Aryan" descent.
It is the biographer's belief, and research supports, that Bayerlein put himself and his family at risk in order to protect and stand up for others who were persecuted during this era of the Third Reich.

 What is GlucoWatch? Automatic Glucose Biographer

 Glucowatch Biographer reported to improve diabetes control in children
She wrote as part of her conclusion, "The biographer appears to be a valuable tool and important step in diabetes management for the child and family, and for the diabetes management team." An estimated 17 million people in the United States suffer from diabetes, approximately 150,000 of whom are less than 20 years of age.
The device consists of two main parts: the durable Biographer, a watch-like device, is worn on a person's forearm, and the AutoSensor, a disposable component (attached to the back of the device) that allows for glucose monitoring for up to 13 hours.
The Biographer is not intended to replace the common "finger-stick" testing method, but is indicated as an adjunctive device to supplement blood glucose testing to provide more complete, ongoing information about glucose levels.

 The Biographer [Glyndon Van Deusen]
Would-be biographers of one's subject feel, perhaps naturally, that they can do a better life than anyone else, and a rival who has a head start inspires them with a sense of grievance.
But if there are frustrations for the biographer, there are also great rewards, and one of these is the impulse it can give to marital togetherness.
As one delves deeply into the life of one's subject, it is as though he were coming alive before one's eyes, and his mental processes and philosophy of life take shape, his impact upon the life of his time becomes apparent, and his contribution to the worlds of then and now becomes clear.

 The Biographer's Tale | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
A.S. Byatt never surpassed the acclaim that greeted her 1990 novel Possession, a literary detective story composed of equal parts richly rendered period detail and page-turning suspense, with an involving love story thrown in for good measure.
As Nanson's biographical work intensifies, so does his doubling back to his theoretical foundation, which ultimately descends into an odd kind of compulsive autobiography.
That The Biographer's Tale can be read either as a rebuke of the academia he flees or as a justification of it says much about the pleasure of this witty but by design unsatisfying goof.

Further, what was known of Djugashvili's boyhood showed a definite streak of self-idealizing, which continued during his years in the Tiflis theological seminary when he entered the local revolutionary underground, and subsequently as well.
The Stalin biographer must, therefore, be most careful not to attribute to his historical villain a consciousness of his own villainy.
In the effort to reenact the villain's thought, he must be able to see and if possible to show how the villain managed to reconcile his duplicities and his most cruel deeds with the inner picture of himself as a righteous man and a good and noble ruler.
