...death, we have been given back the binder that was on her desk. Ariel: The Restored Edition (HarperCollins; 211 pages) prints the poems Plath chose for her book and in the order in which she gave them--the director's cut, as it were. It also includes a foreword by Frieda Hughes, the couple's daughter. Amazingly, before work began on the restored edition, Hughes, who is also a poet, had never read her mother's masterpiece. "Sometimes we have to wait until we're the right age for something," says Hughes, 44, who lives in Wales. "When...

That sounds eerily close to accusations made about the British government's September 2002 dossier, which included the claim that Saddam could fire chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes.

In fact, this report indicates the percent plan was virtually irrelevant,” Orfield wrote in the foreword of the report, which was authored by research associates Patricia Marin and Edgar...
...Wole Soyinka, winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize for Literature, has championed "The Last Summer of Reason," writing a foreword for the new book. "We're really in a season of fundamentalist insanity in many religions," Soyinka told us. "There's a real escalation of intolerance, of the will to constrict the mind. Many people outside have been unaware of the enormity of the killings that have been taking place in Algeria, for instance, in the name of religious purity. So a book like Djaout's, which is a very pointed allegory, is something that I think is required...
