...Saturday Evening Post. But he realized in the late '60s that the big picture magazines were failing, "so I got into producing books and movies." Among his projects: the bestselling Marilyn, a collection of over 100 pictures of Marilyn Monroe by 24 top photographers, with text by Norman Mailer, and the movie The Man Who Skied Down Everest. Nonetheless, he wants to be considered as "an investigative journalist and not a wheeler-dealer or an entrepreneur or even a hardened hustler...
...League status. Besides all this, who else can show off such prominent alumni as James Schlesinger, Henry Kissinger, Archibald Cox, James D(NA) Watson, and Teddy Kennedy, along with some lively cynicism from Ralph Nader.
