In my last newsletter I made a brief comment about the Judith Regan, OJ Simpson, Rupert Murdoch menage a trois. Since then, and after what was reported in the newspapers as a very heated meeting between Ms. Regan and Mr. Murdoch, Ms. Regan has made reference to the “Jewish cabal in publishing”, and something to the effect of how this group was out to “get her”.
When you start hearing people talk this way, it is time for the white sports jackets that tie in the back. As I said last time, three cheers for Mr. Murdoch who had the kahones to do the right thing. Further, if Ms. Regan is this unstable (it is possible she was misquoted, so do your own due diligence before blaming me!) she should have been fired. So another cheer for Mr. Murdoch for keeping order in the chaos of publishing and sending her on her way.
All I can say, Ms. Regan, if you believe you truly are the premier publisher in the industry, indispensible, and have the judgment of Solomon - then do what the rest of us working stiffs have done. Put up your own money, start another publishing company, and prove Mr. Murdoch wrong. (Last piece of advice - don’t do the OJ book - even if you make money, people like myself will pillory you until your final moment on this planet for excessively poor judgment. It’s one thing to be wealthy and loved, another to be wealthy and despised, but to be wealthy and pitied - there is no escape from the shame.)
