...easily charmed, all the key leaders on both sides-except, of course, P.L.O. Leader Yasser Arafat. Now the President must run the risk of souring some of those good relations by applying pressure to win a compromise. The Arab leaders clearly expect the U.S. to nudge its client, Israel, to the bargaining table and make what Cairo and Damascus regard as a reasonable peace settlement. If Carter cannot fulfill those expectations, the result could well be a Geneva-Up or Down-that collapses in frustration and anger. If Geneva collapses, as all parties concerned are aware, one terrible alternative...
...nothing is elementary about these pursuits. A lost dog may travel miles before it is picked up-or dog-naped. If it winds up in an animal shelter and is not claimed within five days it will probably be destroyed. For a $30 fee Keane advises the client on how to find his pet and supplies a form poster that can be individualized with a description of the loved one (Keane recommends a minimum $50 reward). For $100 plus expenses he will devote himself exclusively to finding one pet, and with the Irregulars will scour a neighborhood as thoroughly...
...antithesis of the popular image of an agent, but, unlike many of the modern breed who prefer euphemisms for their trade, he readily admits he is one. Soft-voiced, genial, unhurried and conservatively dapper, he launched International Creative Management in 1955 with $100 in capital and two clients, Robert Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) and Newscaster Charles Collingwood. Since then, Josephson has built I.C.M. into a $30 million-a-year multinational company, embracing agents, a concert-booking bureau and a TV station. His 2,250 clients include Actor Laurence Olivier, Playwright Tennessee Williams, Musician Isaac Stern and Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. Josephson...
...million, minus the agency's 10%. (The story goes that when a frightened Streisand wanted to leave Hollywood after the murder of Sharon Tate, Mengers calmed her down. Stars were not being murdered, Mengers reassured her, only "featured players.") Mengers slyly arranged for Director Mike Nichols to "discover" Client Ann-Margret by inviting them both to one of her frequent dinner parties. "If a person comes to my house for dinner, he has to return my call the next day," she says. A former $135-a-week secretary for the William Morris Agency in New York, Mengers now makes...
MARK McCORMACK, 46, has a special gift: he turns muscle into gold off the playing field, for which he takes a hefty 15% to 40% of his client's earnings. His Cleveland-based International Management Group represents 250 golfers (Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player), tennis stars (Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg) and other athletes, has some 300 employees and last year grossed $35 million. Arnold Palmer, one of McCormack's first clients and closest friends, now earns about $350,000 a year, only some 5% of it from golfing. McCormack can even make financial champions out of novices -like Laura...
