...minor miracle that began when Viking bought an agentless, over-the-transom novel called Ordinary People did not stop there. Sales to Redbook, Ballantine Paperbacks, Reader's Digest Condensed Books and the Book-of-the-Month Club soon followed. Robert Redford's company has just bought the film rights.

...Seven Pillars of Wisdom." The project took Mack, who also serves as the head of Harvard Medical School's psychiatric division and as a practicing analyst at Cambridge Hospital, over ten years to complete.
