Writer's Sell Block
</hdr><body>
<p>By JESSE BIRNBAUM/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> New York State law restricts criminals from profiting from
their crimes by selling their story to publishers or the movies.
Too bad for Jean Harris, the onetime private-school
headmistress, who is serving 15 years to life for the 1980
shooting murder of her lover, Scarsdale Diet author Herman
Tarnower. Harris wrote an autobiography, Stranger in Two Worlds,
and wants to donate the $98,000 she earned from the book to a
fund for prisoners' children, but the state court of appeals
said forget about it. Tarnower's surviving relatives have five
years in which to lay claim to the money; otherwise it could
revert to Harris.
