It is amazing that President Clinton's biography, My Life, is everywhere on the streets of Bangladesh. The bargain price at which one can get it here will easily make it the best selling English language book in Bangladesh! Only the floods in the country could tame the tide of sale of this magnum opus. I have got a bargain copy and am trying to read it cover to cover.

I have read the review of Ron Chepesiuk in your daily. He is right that the description of early life of Clinton should be the most interesting part. I would, though, point out the inadvertent error that the reviewer made in saying, "His father died in a car accident shortly after he was born…" Actually Clinton's father died on 17 May, 1946, before he was born on 19 August the same year.
