CHYNA'S FIRECRACKER

Following in the best-selling footsteps of The Rock and Mankind, WWF superstar Chyna has thrown her life story into the literary ring. Buoyed by author appearances on Good Morning America, Conan, Live with Regis, and The Howard Stern Show, If They Only Knew (365,000 copies out of the gate) debuts at No. 5 this week. In fiction, Dennis Lehane's latest mystery, Mystic River (over 100,000 copies in print), lurks beneath at No. 12. With a 15-city tour in progress, he may wrestle himself a top 10 berth.
