NEW YORK (AllPolitics, Oct. 9) -- Mark your calendars! The release of Webster Hubbell's memoirs, "Friends in High Places: Our Journey from Little Rock to Washington," has been moved up to Nov. 25 to take advantage of public interest, the book's publisher announced Wednesday. The original publishing date had the memoir on bookshelves in February or March of next year. "As publishers we would like to publish when they're hungry for it," said William Morrow & Co. spokewoman Sharyn Rosenblum. The book chronicles Hubbell's longtime friendship with the Clintons and his work as the No. 3 man at the Justice Department. Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr tried to get his hands on the unpublished manuscript and notes, but William Morrow challenged the subpoenas.

DENVER (AllPolitics, Oct. 9) -- Dottie Lamm, the wife of former Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm, will run for the Senate in 1998, challenging Republican incumbent Ben Nighthorse-Cambell. Announcing her candidacy Wednesday, Mrs. Lamm said, "I think I can win that seat, and can bring some common sense and values and vision from Coloradans to a very incumbent Senate." She said she would not rely on her husband in her first run for office, but that he was providing advice. "He's giving me advice that he never took, like think before you speak," she said. Richard Lamm served as the state's governor for 12 years between 1975 and 1987 and lost to Ross Perot in a bid for the Reform Party's 1996 presidential nomination.
