...makeup. All that plus a slight Hungarian accent and blond wig make her look and sound a bit like Zsa-Zsa Gabor. Staid rabbis are sometimes scandalized by her delivery, which ranges from a concerned whine to a dramatic whisper. But lay listeners are held spellbound by her blend of polemics and pizazz. Sometimes they weep openly as she speaks about the possible fate of Israel or the loss of Jewish youths through intermarriage with non-Jews. "This generation suffers from Jewish amnesia," she says...
...going to give audiences, though that, of course, is its most basic virtue. In a troubled time for the American movie, a time of runaway costs, indifferent craftsmanship and stiffening competition from new entertainment technologies, Raiders is, in fact, an exemplary film, an object lesson in how to blend the art of storytelling with the highest levels of technical know-how, planning, cost control and commercial acumen. Most of its relatively low, $20 million budget (half what Michael Cimino was permitted to squander on his out-of-control flop, Heaven's Gate) is, as they say in Hollywood...
Among newspaper critics, Shales is the most admired, though John O'Connor of the New York Times may have more clout because of his proximity to Broadcast Row.

...class on power and politics in organizations devoted a session to the case of Mary Cunningham, the celebrated alumna of Harvard and Bendix who is now a vice president at Seagram. Perhaps because of former Dean Arjay Miller's long experience at Ford, Stanford tries particularly hard to blend the academic and the commercial. After learning that its students' writing ability was, as Business School Dean Rene McPherson said, "shockingly bad," it began to evaluate students' papers for prose style and to have oral presentations taped and judged for coherence. Miller also insisted on broadening Stanford...
