...Pictures and, perhaps, other major studios. To run a studio would cramp him, make him less singular. And although he still spends a majority of his time on his famous clients (85% of his day by his reckoning, 60% to 70% according to an underling), being an agent -- taking Dustin Hoffman's calls, holding Sylvester Stallone's hand -- may have come to seem unchallenging...

Forget the Cassandras. Go see a good movie...
