ALA Headliner

-- Publishers Weekly, 7/5/2004

While BookExpo America kicked off its convention with a speech by former president Bill Clinton, the American Library Association turned to terrorism expert and author Richard Clarke to start things off at its annual meeting held late last month in Orlando. Clarke’s keynote touched on such controversial topics as the Iraq invasion and the USA Patriot Act and drew several standing ovations.
