- Veteran political reporter Lou Cannon has earned glowing
- reviews for President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, a 948-page
- opus that charts its subject's political journey from
- Sacramento to Washington. So why haven't you heard more about
- it? That's simple: the book was released barely a week before
- Kitty Kelley's hit-and-run job on Nancy Reagan. Cannon is upset
- that Simon & Schuster, publisher of both biographies, didn't
- live up to a verbal agreement to keep the release of the Kelley
- book separate from his own tome. After numerous leaks about the
- Kelley book's contents, the company moved up its publication
- date from May to early April without informing Cannon, he
- claims. Although President Reagan has landed on some best-seller
- lists, Cannon has hired a lawyer to explore possible legal
- action. That move may prompt the publisher to promote the book
- more aggressively.
