...restaurant in Manhattan, at which, another Revlon executive recalls, the clatter of dishes kept drowning out Revson's words, and Revson could scarcely fathom Bergerac's accent; neither understood much of what the other said. Bergerac remembers asking Revson at another meeting: "Why do you want somebody like me? I have been associated for a long time with basically technical products, so I know a fair amount about factories, marketing and technical engineering, but ..." Revson's reply: "I know all that, but you have one thing this company needs. You know how to make money...
...blow for the do-it-yourselfers, and strike another for the love of free discussion, which along with a few proffered dollars convinced us at The Crimson to print a newspaper that is being billed as the Summer School's alternative to this paper.

That same afternoon, Goldberg delivered his speech, which had been much revised by Administration policy planners. The final approved version did not clatter over the embassy Teletype from Washington until 2:30 a.m. the day he was to read it. Startling delegates by greeting them in Serbian and frequently ad-libbing (his address ran twelve minutes longer than the prescribed 30 minutes), Goldberg read off a list of human rights violations but named...
