NEW YORK - Magazine publisher Bob Guccione said he would publish the Unabomber's manifesto and put his public relations team behind the effort ``in order to save lives.''
Guccione, chairman of General Media International, which publishes Penthouse and Omni magazines, urged the mail-bomb terrorist in an open letter to ``contact me at your earliest convenience.''
In a letter to The New York Times last week, the alleged bomber promised to stop his 17-year reign of terror if a major media outlet published his 29,000-plus-word manifesto.
``I am making one or several of my magazines available to publicize your message,'' Guccione wrote in his open letter, which was faxed to The Associated Press today. ``We could publish your entire manuscript at one time, or as you suggest, we could serialize it over two to three months.

McDonald's sued again over coffee
WILMINGTON, Del. - McDonald's faces another lawsuit over its hot coffee.
Bryce R. MacNaughton of Kensington, Md., is suing in federal court for $2 million, claiming he suffered first-, second- and third-degree burns when coffee spilled in his lap. No hearing date has been set.
MacNaughton says the lid was not secure on the coffee he bought at a drive-through window at a McDonald's in Lewes, Del.
McDonald's spokeswoman Malesia Webb-Dunn said Monday the company could not comment on the suit.
