...seduction of a coworker. Breslin will be followed next month by Sportscaster Dick Schaap, and in the fall by Writer Nora Ephron and New Journalist Tom Wolfe.

The larger-than-normal press run of 800,000 virtually sold out, as did 1,200 copies flown to Washington Wednesday morning. The Trib spent $50,000 on extra newsprint alone.
