They are met for the introductory session by Jack Powell, a young Boston trial-lawyer who is moonlighting as a Kaplan instructor "to get up the dough for the mortgage on my house."

The firm, Quebecor Inc., had sales last year of $104 million and is listed on the American Stock Exchange. Péadeau (or "Pile-o-dough," as he is sometimes called in Canada) blew into Philadelphia only three months ago, quietly hired a staff of 50 local journalists and rented typewriter space for them in a vacant A&P supermarket across Market Street from the Bulletin.
