I visited an elderly screenwriter yesterday who had begun his career fresh
out of NYU in 1951, writing for the very first tv science fiction
anthology series and some of the earliest sf comic books. He said that
he disliked Columbia Pictures boss Harry Cohn so much, he sneaked into
Cohn's personal gold-plated bathroom, pissed in the john, and left it as
a little golden present for The Boss. I got the writer's autograph and
only when I got home did I discover his inscription: "Thank you for
making me feel like a young writer again."
