WASHINGTON, D.C.: Strom Thurmond's staff shifted into high spin cycle after it was learned that the nonagenarian senator wrote a glowing introduction to a new book contending that the U.S. won the Cold War with alien technology recovered at the Roswell, New Mexico site that conspiracy buffs believe was the scene of an extraterrestrial crash landing in July 1947. Thurmond aides insist that "The Day After Roswell," by former Thurmond aide and retired Army intelligence officer Philip J. Corso, was not the book he thought it was.

It's not unwitty stuff, but Thompson isn't amused. "I think they should be arrested," the nonagenarian eccentric says of the book's creators. "It's stealing." Instead, Simon & Schuster's legal types, mindful of Eloise's 41 years of healthy sales, warned Schrager to stop distributing his book, which he did. "It's resolved amicably," a chastened Schrager told the New York Observer...
