...grow up in the projects, but I am the perfect example of someone who came up from zip, I mean zippola, Mrs. Outhouse herself here." Despite this commitment to unvarnished truth, Winfrey abruptly postponed publication of her own memoirs because they were not inspirational enough. "When I read the manuscript, it wasn't about empowering anybody," she says. "I wanted to do more than release the details of my life. That is the real reason why there isn't a book...
Such self-inflicted torments tend to undermine the credibility of Nelson's assault on biracial sexism. So do a number of unnecessarily graphic revelations about Nelson's frantic sex life and drug abuse, which seem to have been included to pad the manuscript. Despite these flaws, Volunteer Slavery is a compelling firsthand report from the corporate combat zone where racial and sexual lines converge and blur in the most dehumanizing ways...
David Koresh must be the only author ever to have the FBI waiting to distribute his manuscript. As soon as the cult leader has finished decoding the symbolism of the seven seals in the Book of Revelation, FBI agents surrounding the compound near Waco, Texas, where Koresh and his Branch Davidian cult are holed up, will pick up the longhand manuscript and convey it to Koresh's lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, who will present it to two noted biblical experts for evaluation.

BEST KNOWN AS A PORTRAIT OF A BLACK LEADER'S LIFE, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X was meant to contain a 14-point economic plan for black America. The plan is spelled out in one of four unpublished chapters of the manuscript, bought several months ago at an auction of Alex Haley's estate by a Detroit lawyer, Gregory J. Reed. In a chapter titled "20 Millions" (referring to the number of blacks in America), Malcolm sketches a step-by-step program for establishing black schools, libraries and banks. "For the first time, the White man would see the Black...
