People's riskiest, and most impulsive, move came when it outbid Texas Air and signed the agreement to acquire Frontier Airlines for $305 million. Burr says he made the decision to buy the Denver-based carrier without consulting other People executives when the deal was suggested to him by Jack Maatee, a lawyer for Frontier, during a tennis outing at the home of a New York investment banker. "I was convinced," says Burr, "that it was the brilliant thing...
...studio commissary. That afternoon she is lectured by Louis B. Mayer: "My dear child, you are going to be a star . . . I would rather you weren't seen with any of the lower echelon of employees."

...bylaws of their trade, more than half of the thousand or so journalists who submitted their twelve-page application forms did so at the last possible moment. "We have applications from editorial writers, columnists, talk-show hosts, a music writer, photographers and sports reporters," said Project Public Affairs Coordinator Jack Bass as he and Project Director Eric Johnson waded through the deluge of last-minute entries. Some 5,500 forms had been requested and sent out since Dec. 1 by the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication, which is coordinating the selection process.
