Tom Clancy - Will You Buy His New Book
CNBC | 8/6/02 | Kudow and Kramer

Posted on 08/06/2002 7:18:23 PM PDT by jonathonandjennifer

Tom Clancy was on Kudlow and Cramer tonight pushing his new book. I didn't see the beginning of the interview; did they ask about the changes to "Sum of All Fears" in making the movie?

I wondered, will I buy the new book, or boycott it in response to his allowing Hollywood to make PC dictated changes in bringing his book "Sum of All Fears" to the screen? I haven't seen "Sum..", but the changes I'm aware of are changing the villians from Arabs to (?), changing the camouflage for the bomb from a commercial video recorder owned by a TV station to a cigarette machine (cigarette pack?!), and (I'm not sure of this one) wasn't the bomb in Denver in the book and in Baltimore? in the movie?

Does posting something twice mean that you're twice as likely to get a response?

I'm a walking thesis

No! He scares the beejeeburs out of me.

He's an excellent writer. I just get nightmares.

You again?! Does posting something twice mean that you're twice as likely to get a response?

Actually, I posted it three times, twice here (apparently the first time I posted, it posted, even though all I got was an error message); and again in News/Activism, as I explained. I do my best, but when I went to school, some of the desks had holes for ink bottles.

Ah, there's nothing so cheap as someone else's bandwidth, is there?
