...outside. In prison, he scribbled the play on scraps of paper to kill time when he could not sleep; he would stretch out on his stomach on the floor of his cell after lights-out, sticking his hands through the bars to write by the corridor lighting. > Jerry Pulliam, 27, plays Jason, who kills a hood by stabbing him with an ice pick. It is grimly reminiscent of his own crime. "I killed an acquaintance with a knife," says Pulliam, now in his fourth year of a life sentence. "There are so many Jasons in here," says Pulliam, who finished...
...Darcy Pulliam as Mrs. Brice and Kevin Cotter as Fanny's toe-tapping friend Eddie Ryan are delightful in two minor numbers, "Who Taught Her Everything," and "Find Yourself a Man," Cotter has the best voice in the cast.

Morale was once so low that innumerable staffers quit in disgust, and many were fired. Now, Pulliam runs a happy shop. "We are all Pulliam's babies," says one veteran...
Still, much of the improvement in the Pulliam papers can be chalked up to Pulliam himself, who has always been portrayed as more of an intransigent conservative than he actually is. At 76, Pulliam is one of those publishers who is a newspaperman first. "Why in hell," he asks, "should a man want to sell newspapers? If I wanted to make money, I'd go into the bond business. I've never been interested in the money we make but in the influence we have...
