Clumeck, Simon's itinerant board sitter and a funnel for the thousands of scouts and tipsters who now besiege Simon; Brokers Felix Juda of Sutro and Gustave Levy of Manhattan's Goldman Sachs & Co.; Graham Sterling, a Los Angeles lawyer and an expert on the intricacies of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and Hunt President Carl Kalbfleisch and Executive Vice President Harold M. Williams, who help Simon plan overall strategy...
...silent father is a variation on Albee's laconic, spiritless father in The American Dream. Mother is the voracious woman of Arthur Kopit's Oh Dad, Poor Dad, in fright wigs a la Tiny Alice. Lakme wears the little-girl dresses that the sex-hungry baby sitter wore in Oh Dad; Sigfrid half chokes her to death, as the boy in that play strangled the baby sitter.

...basic color of your show is red, you get so-and-so; if it's green, you get somebody else. You can get Smith for anything." He also proves himself happily at home in all genres and periods-from the romantic realism of his squalid bed-sitter in A Taste of Honey to the sculptural expressionism of his revolving turntable for Dylan. He is also uniquely fast (he splashed out 250 watercolor sketches for Hollywood's Oklahoma! in a fortnight), prodigiously productive (eight Broadway openings this season and a lifetime score of some 250 shows), and justly celebrated...
...final weeks of the campaign; this year side choosing began in July. Despite such evidence of strong and early partisan sentiment, more newspapers than ever before have decided to endorse neither candidate; a poll by Editor & Publisher magazine shows that one in three papers is a fence sitter, as against one in four in 1960. And a press establishment that has been as high as 67.3% Republican (in 1962, only 57.7% in 1960) has made Lyndon Johnson the first Democratic presidential candidate in modern times to get a majority of editorial support...
