Random Notes

Random Notes—Literally. I had a beer recently with my pal Troy Bourbon (not his real name), formerly of Goode & Knobler (not a real house), and he told me the movement of players from one publisher to the next (not to mention out into the cold) is more confusing than the winter trades in major-league baseball. No wonder S. I. Newhouse is said to have negotiated with Peter Ueberroth about managing Random House.

“Ask me where somebody is.” Troy dared.
