Pearl has plenty of both admirers and detractors among student politicos and administrators. A dean says she is "a bit confrontationist," while an assembly member once accused her of being willing "to sell her mother" to get a new Student Council Ross D. Boylan '81-2, a former assembly member and outspoken critic of the Dowling Committee who publicly has disagreed with Pearl several times, nevertheless believes that "Natasha has always known what end is up and has taken a fairly radical but realistic position. She is seen by some students as being quite confrontational with the administration, but actually...
...have the pay envelopes, please? According to Forbes magazine, Steve Ross, 54, chief executive officer of Warner Communications, is the highest-paid corporate chief in the U.S. For his efforts, Ross last year pulled down an estimated $22.5 million in wages, benefits and the increased value of his stock.

Simon again teams with director Herbert Ross, who helped make The Goodbye Girl such a success in 1977. Unfortunately, the energy that propelled that film along has all but disappeared in their newest venture...
Simon's screenplay restricts the direction as well as the actions. Even the set design is bland and tiresome: the first father-daughter confrontation is filmed in an annoyingly dull light. The audience's attention is directed away from the screen and toward the repetitious soundtrack. Director Ross ignores the fact that film is a visual medium--more so than the stage on which I Ought to be in Pictures was originally performed: he seems to put his own work on a secondary level to the screenwriter's. This is not a Herbert Ross film: the opening credits...
