...good idea, therefore, to attend the cider and cookie shindig at your senior adviser's pad. And don't be careless with your fancy invitation to Dean Hank Moses' tea party. You'll get hot cider, good coffee and some of the best pastries in Cambridge. And you'll get a chance to meet the Dean, who's truly a great guy. Ask him to go rock climbing and he'll love you.

Starting in 1941 he also produced or oversaw the production of some 300 films, including Lassie Come Home, Blackboard Jungle and Tea and Sympathy. Dismissed as head of production at MGM in 1956 because stockholders were unhappy with company earnings, he turned to playwriting. His 1958 Sunrise at Campobello, won five Tony Awards...
