...wanted a publisher based in Manhattan rather than one in faraway Boston, explained Mailer's agent, who down-played reports that, in addition to New York, Random House threw in a tidy $4 million for the author's next four novels. Meanwhile, Doubleday also had something to bark about. Its newest author is one C. Fred Bush, 11, four-legged companion of George and Barbara Bush. Due in April, C. Fred's Story: A Dog's Life, "edited slightly" by his mistress, will provide (for $11.95) a shin-rubbing view of the vice presidential household...

It was quickly closed, however, when sniper fire from members of a small militia group, Partisans of the Revolution, caused a halt in traffic. But an hour later the leader of the group, Moustafa...
...days, if a boss saw a worker with his feet propped on his desk, he would probably furrow his brow and bark, "Don't get too comfortable, Bumstead!" Times change.
