As I said when this first came out, I'll be stunned if this guy gets $100,000. The economics of publisheing are such that at the cost of a book such as his, he'd have to sell about 75,000 copies to make back that money.

Reality check: Bill Clinton's "My Lies" only SCANNED about 450,000 copies. (I know, they said it "sold" millions---but those are actually SHIPMENTS to book stores and many will be heavily discounted or returned. The only number that counts is the SCANS.)

Nice input....thanks.


And that's the reson why they're spinning and pumping the book like crazy----to generate interest, and sales.

Looks like they never conceived the new generation of Americans would sneer at the story, and even look at the deatils in a new light.

There was no internet at the time of Watergate.
Had there been, perhaps things would have turned out differently.......especially with a guy like buckhead surfing the net.
