WORTH REPEATING...                                            
INTERVIEWER: Is it true that the librarians of America came to your defense 
and saved the day?

MICHAEL MOORE: That's what it looks like. ... I'd say it's a combination 
of these librarians and the Internet, because they started sending letters 
to Harper-Collins, and Harper-Collins saw that it wasn't gonna be a good 
thing to ban the book. But I'm really happy about it. I really didn't 
realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group.

INTERVIEWER: Subversive.

MICHAEL MOORE: They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there 
at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution,
man. I wouldn't mess with them...

Regarding the current best-seller, _Stupid White Men_ by Michael Moore.
