From the Editors
DNC, Day 2 Roundup
Hillary gave her speech at the DNC last night, and received rave reviews from baseball-metaphor-loving pundits, including Keith Olbermann ("a grand slam"), James Carville ("this is what a major-league fastball looks like"), and Bill Richardson ("She hit a huge home run, a 500-foot home run") (via HuffPo). You can try to write your own baseball metaphor at The Caucus--they're soliciting reader comments with the question, "Did Senator Clinton, wearing the sisterhood of the bright orange traveling pantsuits, deliver a speech that will endure? . . . Did you have a favorite line from her speech?" There's also an interactive video and transcript of the entire thing.
Media: Duke Memoirs, Book Bloc, Cell Phone Lit
The Duke rape case accuser, Crystal Mangum, will release her memoir The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story in October, writes GalleyCat. "It isn't about making money," says the book's co-author and independent publisher, Vincent Clark. "She really wants to set the record straight." Clark's company will also publish a book by Marion Jones's drug dealer. "Clark seems to be developing this niche that could be just plain exploitative or it could be legitimate," writes Survival of the Book, "in trying to publish voices getting maligned in the press who are problematic but are also, to some extent, in a position in society in which that are marginalized. . . . they could offer an interesting perspective on a story we all, as a nation, know due to media hysteria."
