Chavez makes Chomsky a best-seller
A three-year-old book by the radical author Noam Chomsky remains at the top of the Amazon.com's bestsellers list, after a plug by Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, during a UN speech last week.
"Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance," published in 2003, shot up from 26,000 to number one after Chavez urged Americans to read it.
Chavez had held up Chomsky's book and said Americans should read it "instead of watching Superman movies", to learn the truth about the abuses of the US government.
