...fortunes (he earned more than $2,000,000 from the 6,500,000 copies that his first four books sold), but neither ballyhoo nor sales can refute the conclusion that Jones is a one-novel writer. His first book, From Here to Eternity (1951), at least projected a brutally candid image of the professional soldier between wars. Jones wrote it at white wrath out of his own experience in the peacetime army in Hawaii. The wrath is gone now; what remains is spillover Spillane combined with horrid Hemingway...
...film, "Black Natchez," records the personal observations of Davied Neuman '62, research assistant in Social Psychology, and Edward Pincus, doctorial candidate in Philosophy. They spent four months in the summer of 1965 filming candid scenes of Negro emotional reaction to white threats and racial violence in the Mississippi town...
...youthful reputation as a scandalous womanizer (deserved) and as a financial charlatan (undeserved) haunted his career. All his life he was candid to the point of impudence and imprudence and maintained a totally un-Victorian intolerance of humbug and hypocrisy. His pen dripped venom.

When friends congratulated him on his first accession to the prime ministership, Disraeli said cynically: "Yes, I've climbed to the top of the greasy...
When it's dismissal time in TV's gold-paved wasteland, some show folk go quietly, while others go kicking the wastebaskets.

Deciding that it was time "for a man to make a public happening of a catastrophe in his life," Funt appeared on a late-hour Manhattan radio show to detail the in glorious mistreatment he had met at the hands of show biz in general and CBS in particular...
...casual attitude toward money also burned Funt. For example, he explained, CBS paid $75,000 a week for the Candid Camera package. Out of that, his agent continued to get 10%. "Imagine," he added, "a company that makes $7,500 a week for a sale that they made seven years ago!" Another instance of television's "ridiculous arithmetic": Producer Bob Banner, who helped get Candid Camera on CBS, receives a steady $7,000 a week without having to go to the studio...
