According to their critics, the two men have their feet firmly on the corporate ladder and are eager to advance upward. Though both spent much of their careers as journalists (Sauter worked as a newspaperman for nine years, while Joyce began as a radio reporter), they made their reputations in management positions.

...Ernest Lehman had written the story "Sweet Smell of Success" in 1950, when he was an ex-press agent, a nobody, and Walter Winchell was the most powerful newspaperman in America. The veiled fiction about the columnist didn't seem to ruffle him. "I don't fool with the Ernest Lehmans of the world," Winchell supposedly said.
