...board's hand was forced by a hostile takeover bid by two producers: Norman Lear, creator of the TV series All in the Family, and A. Jerrold Perenchio, promoter of the 1971 Ali-Frazier fight.

In addition, he is a two-time winner of the prestigious Frank Jewett Mather Award for distinction in art criticism...
