Mulling this over one morning at a diner, Don Hewitt (now executive producer of 60 Minutes) looked up at the menu on the wall - HAMBURGERS 35? SOUP 25?-and asked to buy the sign itself. With it a politician's name could be inserted in the slots of the menu board and photographed in no time at all. Though news was prestigious, sports made the big profits ($10 million for CBS on Super Bowl XVI) and got the big budgets. Out of sports' costly innovativeness have come instant replay, slow motion, the isolated camera, the reverse-action camera...
...fill oil tanks with seawater and sell stock, you can use every sort of calumny in pursuit of political power, you can even charge lots of money for tickets to bad movies. But you cannot, under any circumstances, gain carnal knowledge of young girls. Dave Axelrod (Martin Hewitt) finds this out the hard way--for a few months everything is cool (steamy hot, really), as he and young Ms. Shields make love at every opportunity.

"There is probably not enough money around to guarantee that a person won't leave," says William James, a partner in the Chicago office of Hewitt Associates, a management consulting firm. "A valued executive can likely get his package matched somewhere else." Thomas Wyman, 51, left his post as vice chairman at Pillsbury-and some complex golden handcuffs-for the CBS presidency last year after the company offered him a $1 million signing bonus, a yearly...
...love-maddened youth is played by one Martin Hewitt, an unknown chosen for some reason over the customary 5,000 applicants for the job in a talent hunt. He can pout and look earnest; one could almost indulge his presence in a high school production of Romeo and Juliet. But he is, at best, a puppy lover, not someone who can portray a lad nurturing his passion for two years in an insane asylum and emerging to find and reclaim his love in the face of all opposition...
