Searls's book were less substantial but that she should have used directly attributed quotes. ''It is so simple and so right and you learn as you do these things over time.'' ''I should have had the books in front of me,'' she said. Goodwin said she mistook a quote in her notes for her own words. '''Now I know exactly what I am doing, so it can't happen,'' she said, ''On the Roosevelt book, I understood what had produced the problem on the Fitzgeralds and Kennedys it was having taken handwritten notes on the books.'' Goodwin, 59, said she had taken steps to prevent similar mistakes in her subsequent books, including ''No Ordinary Time,'' about Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1995. Yesterday, she said, ''I didn't mean it as harshly as it sounded.'' Goodwin told The Boston Globe in 1993, adding, ''I just don't understand why that wasn't done.''

She said she corrected the subsequent editions to acknowledge her debt to Ms. Goodwin said the repetitions were accidental. She said that soon after the book's release her publisher, Simon & Schuster, reached a confidential agreement to settle accusations from one author, Lynne McTaggart. The historian Doris Kearns Goodwin has acknowledged that her 1987 book, ''The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys,'' closely echoed sentences from the works of three other authors.
