FSG: NO PRESSURE HERE

New York City

Farrar, Straus & Giroux appreciates Alexander Cockburn's and The Nation's support of our forthcoming publication of John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy ["Beat the Devil," Feb. 5]. We would like to clarify one point, however. While individuals have expressed unhappiness about our decision to publish this work, to our knowledge there has been no campaign to pressure the house "to abandon its publication," as Cockburn seems to suggest. Indeed, we made this clear to The Nation's fact-checker when asked specifically about the issue.
