(2003-06-10) — A spokesman for Simon & Shuster said the $8 million it will pay Hillary Clinton “may be a bet nearly as profitable as investing in cattle futures.”
In the first 24 hours, Barnes & Noble alone sold 40,000 copies of the vicarious-kiss-and-tell memoir.
“At this rate, we’ll break even in a week,” said the unnamed spokesman. “That’s not as good as turning $1,000 into $100,000 investing in cattle futures, but then not many people are smart enough to do that.”
