...have noted that two of the trade paper reviewers inferred that the show lacked "insight reporting"; well, they are absolutely right ... I am not a competent reporter . . . and furthermore, I am not interested in a low-rated artistic success.

He suggested that the money be used for incentive bonuses for Hupp's executives, who need it far more. Said Ekblom: "I want to focus some attention on the country's forgotten man-the corporation executive paid around $20,000 a year. After taxes and educating his children and perhaps one major illness, he reaches the age of 55 without saving a penny. There is something wrong with the system when a man does everything he should do and still...
