Meanwhile, the University of Michigan Press will print 5,000 copies of the biography Paul Wellstone: The Life of a Passionate Progressive, also written by Lofy, who is the communications director for Wellstone Action!, a political education group with more than 100,000 members founded by Wellstone's two sons.
