James Brady Names Names
Forbes columnist James Brady is living proof that senility is no bar to name-dropping. There is also a brilliant Brady-ism in today's column: "Howard Rubenstein was there and introduced me to his son. Whom I know." That's all you need to read, so, as a service to our readers who might otherwise object to sifting through an entire column just to see which celebrities and media types Big Jim trots out this go-round, we've stripped out all the non-essential text to give you the platonic ideal of a Brady column.
Arnold Scaasi, Liz Smith, Cathie Black, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, Jack and Suzy Welch, Harvey Weinstein, Sir Howard Stringer, "celebrity photographer" Patrick McMullan, Nan and Gay Talese, Robert Caro, Dominick Dunne, Howard Rubenstein and "son," Helen Gurley and David Brown, Shirley Lord [widow of Abe Rosenthal], Sharon Hoge, Michael McCarthy [of Michael's restaurant], Roseanne Barr, Holly Hunter.
