CORRECTION |
|
In our
story about former President Bill
Clinton's plans to write a new
book, we mistakenly reported that
the new project would focus on
his many sexual affairs before
and after becoming president,
providing erotic details of the
liaisons designed to appeal to
the prurient interest of the
public. In fact, it will be an
inspirational book about public
service focusing on the many
people he has met who have
devoted their lives to helping
others. We apologize for any
confusion caused by our mistake. |
