He and White House Press Secretary Jody Powell went to see the President. Carter was furious. Said he: "Go ahead and deal with...
...this the misfortune, mismanagement and bad advice that led to legendary stardom? No matter. The Farbers have a stake in making The Industry smell like a rose. The Kanins don't mind either. DeMillean in scope and cast, Moviola reads like the greatest benefit performance ever told. - R.Z. Sheppard
