Bill Clinton to Write New Book
By SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago
After writing an autobiography that sold millions of copies and earned him a hefty advance, former President Clinton has struck a deal to write another book.
Alfred A. Knopf will publish the new work, in which Clinton will focus on public service and citizen activism, telling a story that he hopes will "lift spirits" and "touch hearts," Clinton said in a statement.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Clinton is said to have received a staggering advance of $10 million to $12 million for writing "My Life," the 957-page memoir that Knopf published in 2004.
His inspiration for the second book, expected for release late next year or early 2008, was borne from the experiences he has had during his work and travel in the six years since he left the White House, Clinton said. It does not yet have a title.
Clinton plans to tell the stories of those he has met — and in some cases he will go back and interview them — to make the point that ordinary people can set forth change.

When it comes to BJ Clinton and touching, the heart is last organ that comes to mind.

On "lifting spirits" [in a glass] a magisterial work has already been done by Ted Kennedy. What could WJC add to it?

I think for Clinton's sake, he should leave Foster to rest.

The only thing Bill Clinton wants to touch can be found quite handily in this month's edition of Playboy.

It should be a comic book, where Clinton portrays himself as a superhero known as "The Stain."
To: Sub-Driver
expected for release late next year or early 2008I question the timing of this.

"Going to The White House For Fun and Profit"
