Jamie Raab of Warner Books (owned by Time Warner, as is her show) says her opus, which was due out this fall, remains in an "embryonic" stage. And the deal John Tesh signed in 1995 for a memoir is off. "Right now," says a William Morrow spokesman, "John wants to concentrate on his music...
...made a mistake in referring to the co-creator of the new TV show King of the Hill. His name is Greg (not Glen) Daniels. He was also co-executive producer as well as a writer for The Simpsons program when he left for King of the Hill. MARY WARNER MCGRADE Pasadena, California...
