...rueful words of one of her ex-clients, "more powerful than the stars she handles." An overestimation, perhaps, but Mengers' list of personal clients is largely above-the-title: Barbra Streisand, Ryan O'Neal, Ali McGraw, Candice Bergen, Gene Hackman, Tony Perkins, Tuesday Weld, Directors Herb Ross, Peter Bogdanovich, Bob Fosse and Writer Gore Vidal, to name...
...audience feels this, too, but there is something uneasy, something dishonest in Herb Gardner's original Broadway comedy. The fact is that Murray, however appealing, is disgusted with the very world that creates the play: his snide, wise-guy humor and his rah-rah sense of fun sit smugly in the hackneyed phrases and conditioned attitudes of the Madison Avenue mentality he scorns.

Demands that the department hire a Marxist economic theorist, passed virtually unanimously at meetings of the graduate economics club, were rebuffed. The writing was on the wall...

And safe, too, for as chairman James Duesenberry pointed out to The Crimson, Gintis was not offered tenure. This can scarcely be viewed as responsive to student needs, though they will benefit greatly if Gintis should decide to accept the offer. Student outrage and the intervention of a few powerful members of the Economics Department with the University administration...
