...Crimson printed my sermon it also carried an announcement by the university of a multimillion dollar drive to fund a program in Jewish studies. Some people thought that this was a response to my sermon.

Trouble is, nobody but Foreman has as yet signed...
Nevertheless, Jacobs is backing Papp's efforts; this season the Shubert organization gave Papp's off-off-Broadway Public Theater $150,000 to present ten new playwrights. The grants reflect the change in Shubert, the multimillion-dollar real-estate empire. As landlord of 16% Broadway houses, it was for decades a powerful and increasingly neglectful influence. In 1972, Broadway's blackest year, Shubert was hit hard.
