...skills in the department may be quickly dismissed as amateurish--a hopeless waste of a very large budget, lots of locations and extras, etc. But his scriptwriter is something to be reckoned with--he has made quite a lot of money for pictures like Dirty Harry, Dillinger, Jeremiah Johnson, Judge Roy Bean. And it's terrifying to know that people responded to these films--they play on the most violent and degrading of fantasies. Fortunately The Wind and the Lion was badly directed, and though it has been making money it's not the smash it was cooked...
...content to duel Hugh Hefner on the newsstands, Penthouse Publisher Bob Guccione seems determined to outdo the Playboy prince in the real estate department too. Guccione has paid more than $1 million in cash for the 40-room Manhattan mansion that once belonged to Financier Jeremiah Milbank, and he is preparing to spend another $1 million or so to have it "all redone in Italian Renaissance, very classical and simple."

Buchman first noticed the stuff for his monoliths as he was driving north to Vermont one day in 1972, after one of his infrequent trips to New York: the highway went through a cutting, and ragged chunks of stone were littered all along the roadside. Realizing that "granite has to be the cheapest thing...
...example, only 25% of South Boston High's graduating students went on to college. That compared unfavorably with the record of the all-black Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Roxbury, which sent nearly half its graduates into higher education. Harvard Sociologist Thomas Pettigrew quotes local folk wisdom: "If you want to go to college, you don't go to South Boston High; and if you go to South Boston High, you don't want to go to college...
