NANCY REAGAN BOOK TOPS BEST-SELLER LIST

Kitty Kelley has slowed her promotion of "Nancy Reagan, The Unauthorized Biography," but the torrid book with its tales of sex, Sinatra and pot smoke has topped the best-seller list after just one week.

The biography of the former first lady will hit No. 1 in The New York Times Book Review for sales ending the week of April 13, and book stores confirmed the tell-all tome is still selling like crazy this week.

Only Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" enjoyed a better first week than the Kelley book, which outperformed such best-selling authors as Stephen King, Tom Clancy and Bill Cosby, the Times said Wednesday. - Associated Press
