I did Felix Rohatyn, the financier. That was not a very good experience. I mean, it was a job of work and I did it and he was nice enough. But then he tried to hustle the magazine to get it into print. I never had that experience before. I understood why he was an operator. He called me one Sunday and he said, 'If this is not published in a week, I'm giving it away to somebody'. Of course, he couldn't give it away to anything. I mean, I wrote the product he was giving away. And I called Shawn and I said, 'This is what Rohatyn has said', and Shawn put it in, so Rohatyn got what he wanted, but whatever respect I had for Rohatyn was over
