WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton is learning her lesson. First there was nationalized health care. It was a disaster. Then came the more modest intellectual goals of "It Takes a Village." That book spent 19 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, including three weeks...
...pity about Microsoft's new antitrust problem is that it hasn't driven the stock much lower--only a lousy few points, about as noticeable as three words cut from Moby Dick. If you're like a lot of folks, Bill Gates' best seller caught your fancy years ago, but at 30 to 40 times earnings, the price always seemed high. So you waited, and still wait.

Vox, Baker's 1992 best seller about phone sex, was rumored to have been a gift by Lewinsky to the President. Starr's effort to subpoena Washington-bookstore records had predictable results: the public was offended, and sales of Baker's alleged fly opener rose...
