Director Otto Preminger, 59, got smashed on the pate with a goblet by Literary Agent Irving Lazar during a jocular little chat about who should have the movie rights to Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.

When the Government buys something itself, it has the right to make clear its stake in the negotiations." Meany leaned across the table to point a thick finger at his goblet.
