New York - Simon & Schuster is preparing two hardcovers prompted by Mr Starr's investigation and President Clinton's response. Due out early next month are The Clinton Enigma, in which the Clinton biographer and Washington Post reporter David Maraniss will examine the President's televised address of August 17th and how it reflects his character, and And the Horse He Rode in On: The People v Kenneth Starr, written by James Carville, the combative Clinton loyalist.
The Death of Outrage: Bill Clinton and the Assault on Ameri- can Ideals, written by a former secretary of education, Mr William J. Bennett, and recently published by The Free Press, advanced from No 112 to No 66 on USA Today's national bestseller list on Thursday.
Random House recently announced that it has signed Jeffrey Toobin, a staff writer with the New Yorker and a legal commentator on ABC, to write a book on the Clinton scandal and its effect on the country. It is expected on store shelves no sooner than the end of next year.
Among magazines, National Journal, the influential Washington weekly of politics and policy, announced on Friday that it was preparing a second issue for next week, a special edition on the Starr report that will feature commentary by Stuart Taylor jnr. "We want to distribute 6,000 copies on Capitol Hill by 7.30 on Monday morning, just to show what we can do," said John Fox Sullivan, the magazine's publisher.
