"  From Other People&amp;#039;s Rejection Letters By Bill Shapiro In 2007, a formal notice on the letterhead of the Office of William Jefferson Clinton arrived at Osso Buco, a neighborhood Italian restaurant near New York University, in Greenwich Village. The letter instructed the restaurant to remove from its window a photograph of Chelsea Clinton, because she&amp;#039;s a private citizen and &amp;quot;while she may have dined at your restaurant, this does not serve as an endorsement.&amp;quot; The letter is included in a new book, out today, called Other People&amp;#039;s Rejection Letters, a collection of more than 150 notes, letters, and telegrams that will make you feel good about yourself. A couple of other highlights from the world of food and restaurants: An e-mail from an NBC executive regarding the necessary edits to a PETA commercial in order for it to meet NBC standards, including deleting &amp;quot;:12-:13 licking pumpkin,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;:13-:14 touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;:22 screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy),&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;:23 asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina.&amp;quot; A letter from a book publisher rejecting the proposal for Canine Kitchen, Have Fun Making Easy and Nutritious Home-Cooked Meals for Your Dog \u2014 ostensibly because they already have such a book in production. A letter from Jackie Robinson to President Dwight Eisenhower on Chock Full o&amp;#039; Nuts stationery, where he worked after his baseball career. All the other letters are good too.
