Is she paying her ghostwriters this time, or stiffing them like she tried to do to the gal who wrote her WH book?

Three writers to get the book done in 1/3rd the time, since she took the $9 million but ignored the book until now. It's due out at the end of the summer.

And they were probably working in shifts to get it done in time.

I'll bet those are ghostwriters who will never want to do a book with anyone again after the experience of working with the Red Queen..

ARMED SERVICES.house.gov: "Testimony of Gary Milhollin Professor, University of Wisconsin Law School and | Director, Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control Before the Committees on International Relations and National Security United States House of Representatives June 17, 1998" (TESTIMONY SNIPPET: "When we look at the history of U.S. sanctions policy, we see a willingness to sanction China for missile proliferation in both the Bush Administration, which applied sanctions in 1991, and in the Clinton Administration, which applied sanctions in 1993. But in 1995, the Clinton Administration policy changes. China supplied the C-802s to Iran in 1995; China supplied other missile components to Iran and Pakistan in 1995 and has continued to supply up to the present time. And in 1996, the Administration refused to act on explicit findings by the intelligence community that the transfers occurred. Also in 1996, the Administration started transferring control over satellites exports from the State to the Commerce Department, insulating them from the application of missile sanction laws in the future. For some reason, the Administration decided in either 1995 or 1996 that missile sanctions would no longer be part of U.S. policy in dealing with China. Why did U.S. policy change? I don't know the answer to that question, but I urge the Committees to look into it. We do know the result of the policy change. It gave China a green light to proliferate. Our government's policy on sanctions has enabled Chinese satellite launch companies to sell missiles and missile components to Iran and Pakistan without fear of punishment. Thus, it may be that we are asking the wrong question about how our satellite export policy affects missile proliferation. Whether or not our satellite exports caused U.S. missile technology to go to China, they have made it easier for Chinese missile technology to go to Pakistan.")

Since the publisher allegedly didn't get the manuscript until relatively recently, I wonder if they've been able to do enough editing to make sure the three thirds are internally consistent.

History:

Made Famous By: Vaughn Monroe, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby and others

Timeframe: 1949

Lyrics:

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw

A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet

They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky

On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name "If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range"

"Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"

"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky

Wow! A song about the HildyBeast!

And so true...

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name

"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range"

"Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"

"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE MAY 27, 2003 17:52:37 ET XXXXX

IT TAKES A VILLAGE: HILLARY HAD THREE WRITERS FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY

In her new book, LIVING HISTORY, Hillary Rodham Clinton acknowledges -- in opening pages -- three women for their assistance and contribution to the project, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Clinton, who is scheduled to receive an $8 million advance for the book, thanks author Maryanne Vollers, former Clinton speechwriter Alison Muscatine and writer Ruby Shamir, sources reveal.

The former first lady hit controversy in 1996 when she failed to mention any ghostwriters or assistance, whatsoever, for her bestseller, IT TAKES A VILLAGE.

LIVING HISTORY is being held in strict embargo by publisher SIMON AND SCHUSTER for a June 9 release.

Hillary just should have farmed the book out to Indonesia, at least then she could take advantage of the cheap labor!

"Being held in strict embargo." I wonder if it's been printed yet.
