Former US President Bill Clinton made the first of many public appearances to plug his forthcoming autobiography at a publishing trade show in Chicago. Clinton, whose long-awaited 957-page "My Life" goes on sale June 22, was in relaxed and philosophical mood, recalling his childhood in the southern state of Arkansas and talking in general terms about contemporary US politics. On the subject of his book, the former Rhodes scholar was deliberately short on specifics, although he did warn his readers not to expect a rehash of old grievances from his Washington days.
