NEW YORK (AP) — Rick Moody is finally letting "The Ice Storm" and some of his other previous works come out as e-books.
Electronic editions of four of Moody's books went on sale Tuesday, released by digital publisher Open Road Integrated Media. Besides "The Ice Storm," the other books include the novel "Purple America," the memoir "The Black Veil" and the short fiction collection "The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven." In a recent email, Moody told The Associated Press he had been reluctant to grant electronic rights because most publishers treated the e-editions as "an ancillary part of the lives of my books."
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says it will ask the Supreme Court to save its plans to shield from deportation millions of immigrants living in the country illegally. The appeal advances a legal confrontation with 26 states during a presidential race already roiled by disputes over U.S. immigration policy.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Monday effectively blocked President Barack Obama's plan to protect as many as 5 million immigrants, primarily the immigrant parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. It upheld a Texas-based federal judge's earlier injunction.
