Hillary Clinton Gets Censored

Hillary Clinton`s publisher is swapping
heated letters with Chinese publishers of her memoir, "Living
History."
The fight erupted after the Chinese government-backed publisher
Yilin Press removed references to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest
and activist Harry Wu.
Clinton called the changes "amazing and outrageous," and her
publisher, Simon and Schuster, demanded an immediate reprinting of
the complete, uncensored text. Clinton`s camp has issued a deadline
for Yilin to back down or lose all rights to sell her book.
In response, Yilin sent an apologetic letter to New York-based
Simon and Schuster, but one that blamed the international episode
in part on the failure to receive the book promptly from America.
