BOOKS: Furthermore: Feb. 21, 1994

The chilly tale is still unfolding, but that hasn’t stopped publishers from competing in an Olympian race to make quickie books — and bucks — from the saga of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. No fewer than six paperbacks have been zooming to press: four on the presumed heroine (sample title: The Kerrigan Courage) and two on the suspected villainess (Thin Ice). None have the cooperation of their subjects, and most will be in bookstores well before closing ceremonies in Lillehammer.
