...Delacorte Jr., chairman of the board of Dell Publishing, gave $150,000 to build the open-air theater in Central Park. Conversion of the Astor Library into the Public Theater will ultimately cost $3,000,000, of which Papp has raised only $1,000,000 so far. The annual budget of Papp's company...

He has called California Governor Ronald Reagan "a liar" for manipulating university financial figures to justify budget cuts, and tells matrons of Westwood who complain about obscenity in Bruin reviews: "If you don't like it, don't read it, lady." Despite such brashness, one of his frequent targets, U.C.L.A. Chancellor Franklin Murphy, praises Weiss as a conscientious editor who has made the paper "a provocative and enzymatic...
