Mon. Nov. 27

Can you be the one to get a "Yes, I am" out of potential presidential candidate and former Sen. John Edwards? Don't bet on it. These things are pretty scripted - Edwards issued a couple of "maybes" on "Letterman" recently. But you can try at Harvard Book Store Monday Nov. 27 at noon where the Kennedy-esque Edwards will be signing copies of his book, "Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives," a collection of essays by him and others such as Steven Spielberg, Maya Lin, Nanci Griffith, Bob Dole and Hank Azaria about what a childhood home means to one's life. It still stirs up some pretty strong, sentimental feelings on this end, especially with the Christmas season upon us - or so the network advertisers have deemed. Candidate or not a candidate, "Home" looks like a winner, dare-we-say the feel-good book of the season.
