The Dallas Morning News, by Pete Slover, 30 November 1999
AUSTIN - A small New York publishing firm announced Monday that it will
reissue a biography of Governor George W. Bush containing disputed drug
allegations, a book scrapped by its first publisher after revelations that
the author was a felon.
Soft Skull Press initially will print 25,000 paperback copies of "Fortunate
Son : George W. Bush and the Making of an American President," in which
author J. H. Hatfield quotes three anonymous sources as saying that Mr.
Bush covered up a 1972 cocaine arrest.
Mr. Bush, the GOP presidential front-runner, disputed those allegations,
which have not been corroborated elsewhere.
"Soft Skull reprints 'Fortunate Son' to allow the voters to judge for
themselves," the company's senior editor, Sander Hicks, said at a news
conference in New York. "Soft Skull was the single press to prove it had
the courage and resources to take on this controversial book and finally
put it in the hands of the American people."
Mr. Hicks also said he saw the book as a potentially profitable bestseller.
Soft Skull's version of the book will sell for $16.50, including a new
index and foreward not found in the $25.95 hardback original. It will be
available in bookstores in mid-January, or at the publisher's website.

WIRE:12/10/1999
Publisher agrees to destroy copies of book
http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap19991210_1675.html
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ The California
publisher of a controversial book about the Oklahoma City bombing will
destroy copies of the book as part of a settlement of a lawsuit filed by
a former FBI official over false and inaccurate statements in the book.
Stan Twardy, attorney for former FBI official Oliver "Buck" Revell, said
Friday that the number of books being destroyed was not available but he
described it as "substantial." The publisher said all books in its
distributor's warehouse would be destroyed.
Revell said David Hoffman's book, "The Oklahoma City Bombing and The
Politics of Terror" contained false and inaccurate statements about him
and "by innuendo" portrayed him as a co-conspirator in the bombing.
Feral House Inc. promised to destroy copies of the book to avoid
"further dissemination of inaccurate statements."
.....
"contrary to reports, is still available in major book stores, or from
the author, David Hoffman ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

The full text of "The Oklahoma City Bombing and
the Politics of Terror" can be read on-line at:

at least it was the last time I looked, which was a month ago.
so I guess it's not really banned, is it?
