Coulter's ubiquity on political talk shows is exceeded only by her inability to write a book that doesn't become a best seller. Her current effort is titled as churlishly as the three that preceded it: How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter. It recently ended a 16-week run on the New York Times best-seller list even though it's mostly a collection of previously published columns. Despite Coulter's indifference to the online world--she doesn't blog, and until recently she had little direct role in anncoulter.com...
...Instead, Purcell consolidated power by building a loyal board and outmaneuvering Mack, who resigned in 2001. Chicago 1, New York 0.

...literature produced about the Bomb in the past few years has created a small industry. There have been recent novels about the "end," notably Denis Johnson's Fiskadoro, a story of survival in a contaminated world, like Nevil Shute's 1957 best seller On the Beach.

Lee Iacocca and the executive thoroughbreds trotted out for In Search of Excellence and A Passion for Excellence have pulled off a corporate takeover of the national imagination. Best-seller lists are stacked with adventures in management. Even prime-time entertainment reflects this trend. Hill Street Blues, for example, is basically a series of dramatic lessons in administration. Each week, Captain Furillo arrives in a three-piece suit to work his interpersonal magic on office crises...
...popular, gets great mileage and goes from 0 to 60 in 341 pages. Published last October, lacocca was parked at No. 1 on the best-seller list for 36 weeks. Last week the 2 millionth copy came off the press, a feat bettered by only a few books, including Gone With the Wind and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The author, who has not promoted the book and assigned most of its profits to charity, is still "awestruck" by the success. "I'm told America loves listening to me, but I love listening to America," says lacocca, who receives about 500 letters...
