...have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red. It's really about us all having these colors, and it's O.K. to have them, but it's learning how to deal with them and what to do with them. It's a sweet little book done in rhyme. I hope to write lots and lots of children's books through the years...
...Obama Administration, for its part, feels as if it has no choice but to overhaul its policy. "We're in potentially a different place now with North Korea," a senior Administration official tells TIME. Obama came into office determined to close the deal George W. Bush had started to negotiate during his second term: persuading the North to stand down its nuclear program in return for an array of economic benefits as well as eventual diplomatic recognition by Washington. For now, that strategy is off. "I'm tired of buying the same horse twice," said Defense Secretary Robert Gates late...
...Detroit Fiat Takes Control of Chrysler Chrysler's planned alliance with Italian carmaker Fiat was cemented on June 10 after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the deal brought by Chrysler's creditors and concerned consumer groups.

But should you live through one - possibly as a gesture toward cosmic compensation - your shot at a book deal goes way up. There are two new memoirs out by survivors of plane crashes: Ollestad's Crazy for the Storm (Ecco; 272 pages) and Robert Sabbag's Down Around Midnight (Viking; 214 pages). Starbucks has picked Ollestad's memoir for its book program, and you can see why: plane crashes are usually unknowable, secret events...
...Amazon can't make a deal with the publishers, it can always just become a publisher. That's where Princess Alera of Hytanica makes her royal entrance. Last year, speaking to Publishers Weekly, Bezos pooh-poohed the idea of Amazon publishing books: "I'm not sure we have any skills per se to be a content originator," he said. "Why would we be better at it? It's a well-served industry." That it may be.
