ABOUT TO PUBLISH

IT drives me NUTS.

TV talking heads keep saying that John Bolton is about to publish his tell-all memoir. He's not; his PUBLISHER is about to publish the book.

I wish they'd get these things right. It's a small thing, I know, but a newspaper editor from 20 years ago would have made a point to change that.
