...exactly delighted about stirring up political storms, but he certainly thrives on them. His personality itself is something of a storm; people feel that it is heavy, but not unpleasant weather when he is around. Always approachable and cheerfully argumentative, he can, as a friend puts it, "elevate a pub crawl into an intellectual experience." With a memory that is rapacious for detail, he can reel off poetry as if it were statistics and make statistics sound much like poetry. He is friendly even with his ideological opponents like Arthur Burns, the conservative chairman of the Federal Reserve Board...
Sandwiched between a dilapidated Irish pub and a skin-flick cinema in midtown Manhattan, the black door with its heavy brass plate proclaims "Scanlan's Literary House." Upstairs, in a garish former banquet hall, the scene is even more bizarre: a dozen cluttered desks and typewriters, one freelance writer demanding payment, a payrolled private investigator deep in conversation with an ex-con contributing editor.

The Pub Board sets up advertising ratios, advertising rates, and the minimum number of issues of the HarBus. The Board has complete control over the newspaper and can keep the HarBus proprietors in line by a variety of sanctions: from fining them to taking away the proprietorship. The usual practice is for the Pub...
...next topic of contention was the HarBus contract with the Publications Board. One Pub Board member wanted to fine the HarBus for dragging its feet in the negotiations; he resigned when the Pub Board decided simply to continue negotiations. This controversy included questions such as whether the Pub Board could sponsor prospective-proprietorship cocktail parties with the $500 assessed against the HarBus for use of Business School facilities...
