November 20, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Kathleen Willey was fast asleep in her Virginia home on Labor Day weekend — and had no idea that an intruder had entered her home.
The thief didn’t steal her laptop, jewelry or credit cards — instead, she says, the intruder took only a copy of her manuscript for her new book “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.””
