What-If Article: Covey's Bedtime Stories.

Alex Rogo, renown American Press journalist, made a pre-release announcement about his latest e-article entitled "Covey's 7 Dark Habits". In his article, Rogo has revealed private information about the alleged secret life of Stephen Covey. Covey is the author of the best-selling phenomena "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", his work is currently marked, among Anthony Robbins, as one of the most successful ever in the field of modern day personal development. Covey now belongs to a long list of individuals whom Rogo had chosen to become subjects in his sensational articles.

"His[Covey's] readers will surely be surprised by the difference between the 'stories' he writes in his books and the real facts behind those stories", Rogo's statement in a public announcement last Monday.

"There is no denying the merit and strong power behind those fancy stories, but it is also intriguing to know the dark truth behind them - the stories behind the stories", Rogo muses.

The article begins with the controversial section "Covey's bedtime stories". It details the events that transpired 10 months before Covey began to work on his first best-seller. Covey's lead public relations and legal counsel, Arthur Adams, has stated "the article is largely a work of fiction and deserves no further comment from us". In response, Rogo has made the following remark, "No further comment? That must be the term they call the series of financial support they gave to one of my sources”.

Nevertheless, despite protests from readers, the article will not be published publicly in any format. Global Publishing, Rogo's publisher has confiscated and exerted ownership rights over the article.

"Rogo wrote a fascinating and intriguing article, but an article that has, excessively and unnecessarily, shaken faith in the work of a fellow writer. This we cannot allow”, the company’s public statement on the day of the announcement.

Alex Rogo has yet to comment.
