...primarily a designer; rather, he was a director and producer - bearing the same relation to his glass that Diaghilev did to Paris' Ballet Russe. Though he personally puttered with glass all his life, and in the early years often did a quick gouache or watercolor sketch for a proposed design, in later years he simply hired the best designers, the most skilled craftsmen, then turned them loose to fashion their individual pieces. He was a strong and controlling taskmaster. If a section of a glass window displeased him, he would knock it out with his fist. Every product...

Prof. Peter Murray plays a Professor Perinifield in a scene in an HLS classroom: I think he is modeled on someone and I am sure he is very funny. There is another sketch at something called the Daily Gannett, which I think parodies the Law School newspaper, except I'm not sure there is a Law School newspaper. After that they parody the BSA. I thought the BSA was the Black Students Association. But the sketch was a barrel...
