...supervisor of a Duncan Hines packing plant. "I had taken great pains to convince the men I was working with that I could do a competent job--I'd specifically requested that the workers train me so that they could get to know me personally and I could earn their respect...One of the women who followed me made a point of correcting the men when they called her a girl instead of a woman. Then when they referred to me as a girl I knew they were using it derogatorily...Why did she have to alienate them that...
Garth and Deardourff, who both have staffs of more than a dozen and earn upward of $200,000 a year, are not the only stars of the image game. In Florida, for example, Media Expert Robert Squier brought Robert Graham out of obscurity to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. His commercials showed Graham, a millionaire landowner and Harvard Law School graduate, getting his hands dirty alongside the working men at 100 different jobs around the state. In Alabama, Fob James, a millionaire sporting-goods magnate, used Memphis Media Consultant Deloss Walker plus $1 million to convince voters through television that...

Rosovsky explained that "faculty members are under very severe financial strain," and added that consulting "permits some people to earn outside income...
...Martin Feldstein, a gentle, cherubic fellow, who left the Bronx sidewalks for undergraduate distinction at Harvard and found a home there (with time off to earn a Ph.D. at Oxford). Philosophically, Professor Feldstein is eclectic: liberal enough to have been a counselor to Candidate Carter in '76, sufficiently conservative to have been invited to join President Ford's Council of Economic Advisers in '74 (he turned down the bid). At 38, Marty Feldstein is one of America's three or four brightest young economists, and already he heads the prestigious National Bureau of Economic Research...
