I just learned in the last 15 minutes this date that my first book, Basketball Basics, published by Prentice-Hall, was translated into German and French and published in Canada and the United Kingdom and is still in print in some form. Check this out too.
So, where is my $$$. For a number of reasons, especially because it was the first how-to-play-basketball book that took girls seriously, it made a lot of money. And the publishing rip off started off there.
Writing the book  was a great learning experience about the business side of publishing and its dark side. I’m going to look for a lawyer and then write about the experience.

Since May 30, Saturday, because of a bike accident, I’ve been to two emergency rooms, the first via ambulance in Jersey City, and the second in Manhattan via PATH and taxi, and have made office visits to two Manhattan doctors, one to my personal physician who referred me to a podiatrist, who told me I really needed to see an orthopedic specialist. He told me to rush to NYU’s orthopedics emergency room where a NYU orthopedics ER doc told me what I suspected when I was in the Jersey City Medical Center but couldn’t get anyone there to take serious my concerns: My Achilles tendon was mangled, to what degree she couldn’t determine because the NYUÂ MRI folks had left at 7 p.m.

From Mark & Rhoda Berenson:
To Friends and Supporters of Lori Berenson – Despite the odds she faced owing to compromised health after 13.5 years of incarceration in harsh Peruvian prison environments, Lori gave birth Wednesday morning May 6 in Lima. Salvador Anespori Apari Berenson was delivered via Caesarian-section due to Lori’s precarious back condition that will require delicate spinal surgery to prevent permanent nerve damage.  Surgery will be scheduled after she recovers from childbirth.
