BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thai communications authorities have blocked a Web page, run by a U.S. university publisher, that promotes an unauthorized biography of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The page on the Web site of the Yale University Press contains a short summary of the book "The King Never Smiles," scheduled to be to be published on May 29.
The book, by American journalist Paul Handley, is the first comprehensive biography in English of the 79-year-old king, the world's longest reigning monarch. The country already has banned imports of the book, which the royal family considers insulting to the king.
