Having done the children's book, the memoir, the juice commercial, the lecture tour, the newspaper column and the Weight Watchers-spokeswoman thing, what will the Duchess of York do next? Why, a network-TV special, of course. ABC has signed SARAH FERGUSON to be the anchor of a show in which she travels around the U.S. talking to and working with inspirational people. "It's not a Diane Sawyer situation. She wants to do more than just sit down and talk to them," says a source close to the production. If the first special flies, the plan...
...Labor Secretary, Robert Reich couldn't get a buzz going if he'd crossed a picket line. Now he's the talk of the town for his bestselling memoir, Locked in the Cabinet. But the talk has turned decidedly sour since one reviewer, Jonathan Rauch, saw through the forest of short-guy jokes to find a book that was too good to be true.

...Corso, was not the book he thought it was. In his foreword, Thurmond praised Corso as a man "with many interesting stories to share with individuals interested in military history, espionage and the workings of our government." Thurmond's staff insists that the foreword was meant for a Corso memoir called "I Walked with Giants: My Career in Military Intelligence." The book's 21-page outline, aides say, made no mention of aliens. "We've been totally blindsided by this man and his publisher," Chris Cimko, Thurmond's press secretary, said. The book, published by Pocket Books, goes on sale...
