I had not heard at *ALL* about the two endings--thank you so much for the warning. Chad's out walking the dog right now, but I think when he comes back, I will ask him to go upstairs, find the second ending, and paperclip it.

I don't know if I can bear to have him cut it out. On one hand, I might well read it if it's there. On the other, book mutilation! Is it really that bad?

(And how can _Stephen_ _King_, of all people, not resist publisher pressure to change a work? I just don't understand. Really do not.)
