FYI
I did not see the show, but my sister said that last night 60 Minutes
interviewed Michael Moore.  In the course of the interview Michael Moore
said "one does not want to mess with librarians as they are a powerful
group."
Seems he read from a book he had written in 2001 in a public forum.  At that
reading, a librarian was present.  He told the group that his publisher
wanted him to tone down what he was writing and would not publish unless he
changed ??  MM said the librarian reported this to her "librarian chat line"
and the next day enough librarians contacted the publisher that the
publisher went forward with the book.  So, MM spoke about  the power of
librarians to change things with publishers.
