Lewinsky flies in to plug book

MONICA LEWINSKY arrived in Britain last night to promote her authorised biography, which details her affair with President Bill Clinton.

Amid a scrum of photographers at Heathrow airport, Miss Lewinsky was accompanied by several minders. She starts her promotional tour today with a book signing session at Harrods.

The book, Monica's Story, has been written by the British former journalist Andrew Morton, who was also the biographer of Diana, Princess of Wales. The initial print runis 100,000 - unheard of for a hardback.

In an interview with Time magazine Miss Lewinsky said she hoped the book would sell well.

"I'm going to be criticised for saying this," she said, "but I want my book to do well. I need to have the means to take care of myself for the next few years. Therapy is not cheap."
