Harvey Weinstein: a poke in the eye?
"Harvey Weinstein said at last night's annual dinner meeting of the Business Council of Westchester that when he was 10 years old, he was poked in the eye while playing cowboys and Indians, and was out of school for six months," scoops Westchester Journal News' Barbara Woller. Speaking to 500 gatherees at the Hilton Rye Town in Rye Brook, Weinstein regaled that "he made good use of that half year in the days 'when there were no 500 channels/ to entertain him thanks to a retired librarian who lived next door and taught him the joy of reading." [Miz Machiavelli was unavailable for comment.] "This love of books, he said, helped him to appreciate and recognize great writing. And that appreciation, he said, has been an underpinning of his career in cinema...
Weinstein also referred to the book "Leadership" by former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani." [The post 9/11 memoir, it's worth noting, was published by... Miramax Books.] Weinstein said guidelines Giuliani gave to "study, read and learn" are his own philosophy for success." Woller did not enumerate any of the shared precepts of the chummy corporate captains.
