Imagine Anne Frank with a humongous book deal, or doing lunch with Steven Spielberg at Spago. The holocaust of today has created a new young heroine-13- year-old Zlata Filipovi c, who began keeping a journal in the fall of 1991 describing Sarajevo under siege. The result, Zlata's Diary, earned $560,000 from Viking Press, a $1 million movie deal from Universal, and now sits at No. 8 on the best-seller list after a first printing of 200,000 copies.
