...already a folk hero on merit, and Reuven Katz, his attorney, hopes to make Bench a millionaire before John becomes 30. Bench sings. He sings on key and with a quiet intensity, but all the songs are sad. One tells of a broken marriage. In another an old man is bereft of everything but a dog and watermelon wine. A third describes young people who are desperate in a wash of ruined dreams...

Five years ago he had brought in ex-Newspaper Editor Richard C. Wald as a News vice president.
