Hillary Clinton's White House memoirs are apparently ready to go, reports last month to the contrary, with her publisher, Simon & Schuster, preparing a whopping million-copy initial press run.
Titled "Living History," Mrs. Clinton's 576-page tome is set to hit bookstores on June 9, with an audio version read by Hillary herself planned for release the same day.
The book will be billed as a "complete and candid" accounting of her years as first lady, from the health care debate to impeachment to the launching of her own political career, reports the Associated Press.
But others familiar with the project say that New York's junior senator has gone back on her pledge to write a true tell-all, and will gloss over the juicy details of her husband's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and relationships with dozens of other women that have threatened to sink their marriage.
"Much of it - especially as she relives those early years - is touching and delicious," reported the New York Post's Cindy Adams two weeks ago. "And whoever's seen it, loves it. However, those close to the manuscript are saying that, unfortunately, she won't tell the seamy slimy stuff."
Rumors have swirled since Clinton inked her deal for an $8 million advance that she figured her marriage to Bill would be over by publication date - and that dishing more dirt could only generate more sympathy and give her ambitions for higher office a boost.
But with a Clinton divorce not in the cards, Hillary decided not to get into her private life as a first lady scorned.
"Why would she?" noted Adams. "She's going to rise higher in public life. ... Telling how her guts turned during Operation Monica is not statesmanlike. 'They' want the Vince Foster truth. More of the Bill and Hill inside."
"This she isn't doing," insisted the Post's gossip maven.
"Those who love her say she doesn't need the money and should give back her $2.whatever mil advance," says Adams, which sounds like a veiled threat to Simon & Schuster to take the sanitized version of Hillary's book - or forget about the whole project.
Luckily for New York's junior senator, the bluff apparently worked.
"Only a small handful of books have a 1-million-copy first printing, and I cannot think of another nonfiction book in recent history that has had that large a first printing," boasted Clinton lawyer Robert Barnett to the AP.
For readers interested in a fuller account of the inside story, "Living History" won't be the only Clinton book in stores this summer. "Hillary's Scheme," by NewsMax.com's Carl Limbacher, is due out on Aug. 5, and will be chock full of information Mrs. Clinton won't be covering in her sanitized screed.

From my cold, dead hands...
Heard part of Limbaugh today. I think he said something about "print run a first for a non-fiction book", which again,
anybody can write a non-fiction book. But what is a book that
claims fantasy as reality called?
Besides, she said she could remember anything...
Great job!
Just curious. Is anyone out there going to buy this? (For the record, I'm not.)Her campaign's election/war chest will. They need to keep this book 'propped up' on the best seller's list. Then her campaign will be enabled, ad nauseam, to regale the populace how this country is interested in all things Hillary.
