Cover Stories: Clinton on tour; Connery's autobiography
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sales of Bill Clinton's My Life are already approaching two million. Perhaps he'll even earn his colossal advance. To be on the safe side, the former president is popping over next week for further puffs. Following in Hillary's footsteps, he'll grace the sofas of Richard and Judy, and Frost, and of fellow politician-turned-pundit, Alastair Campbell. Diehard fans should battle their way to Waterstone's Piccadilly at 1pm on Monday, where he'll be signing, and shifting, more books. There is, however, no respite for the hand that signs books and, er, wields cigars. At a grand party at the Guildhall later, Clinton will be shaking the hands of a few hundred of his closest media friends. Surely now he'll oust Gazza from the No 1 slot?

The autobiography that the actor Sean Connery said that he'd never write was this week bought by HarperCollins, in a deal negotiated between Caroline Michel and agent "Mega" Mort Janklow, whose clients include Sarah Ferguson and the Pope. He long ago said he could sell the project for at least $6m, but figures are not now being discussed. The book, which will be ghosted (Connery is still talking to possible candidates), will be published in 2006. The Oscar-winning actor admits the task ahead is "scary, but utterly exhilarating". Once voted "the Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine, he will write about his rags-to-riches life in film, as well as his charitable and political concerns.
