I didn't know this, but perhaps you did: the Vice President's wife Lynne, is a novelist. Among her literary accomplishments is a book called Sisters, which was first published in 1981. It was scheduled to be reissued this year, but for some reason the publisher had a change of heart. Here is the text of one reader's review from Amazon:

"[Sisters is] the lusty story of frigid, 19th century house wives thawed only by the gentle, loving caresses of one another. [It] probes trepidatiously into the sweet, secret delights that await them and brings forth the deep, damp passions lurking in all women as they take their first trembling steps toward their most fervent desires on a tawdry journey of self discovery."

Someone should start a letter-writing campaign to the publisher to have this book re-issued. It's time has finally come.
