Well, I don't think the Sun is what I would call a good paper

Or, ouch.
THE MISTAKE OF CLINTON'S 'LIFE'

Bill Clinton has been characterized in many ways, often
unflattering. But would even the most strident Bubba basher describe
his life as a "failure"? There's no need to --- the ex-prez has
already done so himself.

Believe it or not, in the last sentence of his bestseller's
acknowledgements, the guy who would never 'fess up without
qualifiers declares outright that none of his friends and family
"are responsible for the failure of my life."

"It's a typo," an Alfred A. Knopf PR flack told the New York Sun.
For "failure", read: "failures." While the mistake has been fixed in
the 725,000-copy second printing, it remains permanent in the book's
1.5 million first run. No errata slip was issued. And, yes, the
author was made aware of the OOPS! along with others, including the
former CIA director being called "John Woosley" in the index.

Attention e-Bay hawkers: Make sure to use the above info as a bonus
money-maker.

(BTW, The NY SUN is a GREAT read. And at a measly 25 cents an issue,
EVERY pro-Israel New Yorker should be supporting the paper!)
