Still, Newman is inevitably a force to reckon with, and that makes his casting of the feeble Benson the more surprising-surely he knows he can hold the screen against a real actor. Howard is supposed to be a rebel and a goof-off, but with a core of sensitivity and integrity supporting his literary ambitions and his resistance to Harry's loud demands that he find steady work. But Benson is one of those performers who appear to be playing for the mirror instead of the camera; nothing interferes with his pleased self-contemplation Harry...

The author points out that while Agee was chief financial officer of Boise Cascade, the company used questionable accounting methods in land acquisitions. Boise Cascade lost almost $300 million in 1971 and 1972, more than half its net worth at the time...
