[Bruce Appelbaum]

     You think that's bad, try to find a copy of Valley of the Dolls.

The censorship gets even worse then that.  Border's and Barnes & Noble 
have a really do limit not only which authors can be read, but what 
material can be read by the authors they wich to carry.  Have you ever 
tried to get a copy of Myra Breckenri.. (sp?) Borders carriers all the 
lovely histroical type novels by Gore Vidal, but his controversial stuff, 
somehow, never really seems to make it to the shelves.  I had to get 
someone to fish out a copy from "out back" for me a couple of weeks ago.
     
Sacry stuff.
