SOMETIMES I THINK I'm crazy when I hear the Fl Salvadorean and U.S. governments deny killings by the National Guard." Anne Nelson, a writer for The Nation says, "They say the violence didn't happen, and I say it did.

To help in promotion, Nelson, the biggest Bible publisher in the U.S. ($40 million in annual sales), signed up conservative stalwarts, including Jerry Falwell, as editors. There will be considerable commercial fanfare when the full Bible comes out next year.
