This tidbit is from a publishing newsletter I get, and has nothing to do with sustainability or human fertility (in fact, quite the opposite), but needs to be categorized somewhere around that Wal-Mart Black Friday video, i.e., some category like Is Our Society Going to Hell in a Handbasket? Many of us in the writing world have been looking on in horror at the whole OJ/Judith Regan/Fox News/HarperCollins (one of my publishers---eeek!) debacle. The depths people are willing to go...

And the company persists in asserting that Simpson wasn't supposed to get any funds. But in a radio interview on Wednesday, Simpson laughed at the company's front: "Would everybody stop being so naive? Of course I got paid."
