...that position that he perfected his techniques of distribution, mostly while marketing Love Story. When he became president, "The first thing I did was to merge publicity and sales. I must have fired a cast of hundreds in the process, but in the end we had a tight, clean operation in which all roads led directly into my office." If that corporate chart sounds like Napoleon's plan for the highways of France, Yablans would not deny it. "It's easy to be humble if you were born a prince. I came from a ghetto...
...classic knuckling under to a classic labor confrontation. As company president, the 54-year-old Farah originally saw no reason why his workers needed a union.

Clean water, pumped down one hole, would be heated by the broken-up magma and would return up the other well as steam...
Mellow has fine vignettes from the '20s and '30s. Francis Picabia, the rich, eccentric Cuban painter-owner of 100 autos in his lifetime-darts in and out of the narrative. "If you want clean ideas, you must change them as often as your shirts," he advised Gertrude. Her triumphant American tour in 1934 is a familiar story, but Mellow has new anecdotes, such as renting a You-Drive-Yourself car in Chicago because Gertrude was enchanted by the firm's name...
