The biggest misconception about my father, really, is in the focus of everyone's knowledge and attention about him, in the later years of his life. (...) They focus on negative aspects of his life. One aspect is the idea that he was some sort of an addict. And really, what happened to my father was he became medically addicted to morphine because of leg pains that he had, resulting from an injury. And, at a very late age in life, he turned himself in, to be cured, and he came out of the hospital completely cured, and I think it was a very heroic effort to do that because he took a lot of heat from it. And I'm very proud of how he was able to take control of his life, and lick a problem that he had.
