Although set in the fictional Sesame Hotel, He Had it Made (1959) was based on the real Aladdin in Woodbourne, where author Sidney Offit worked as the steward in addition to renting rooms to guests. In the Mountains interviewed Offit about how he came to write He Had it Made. |
Phil Brown: What prompted you to write this book? |
Sidney Offit: I was absolutely knocked over by the Catskills. I’d only been at the Catskills for 7 years when I wrote the novel. It took me 2 years to write. When you write a novel you have to work out a psychological need to write it. I had a need to deal with that hotel at a waiter’s level. I was the boss’ son-in-law... |

How was He Had It Made received in 1959? |
It was at the time when Moss Hart had just written a memoir of his theater career. He had reflected on his experiences in the Catskills. That gave it a topical lift. Louis Nichols in the NY Times interviewed me. Appearing in that column was a literary trophy. On the Jack Parr show we talked about the book and I told a ... |
How real are the characters? |
All were invented. I tried to do an idealized aspect of my in-laws. They didn’t speak with an accent, but they had the NY intonation. I have a good ear for dialogue. |
Al Brody, the leading character, is a manipulative waiter out to make a quick buck and to exploit women sexually. The novel leaves vague whether Brody’s marriage to the owner’s daughter is mercenary. |
Al Brody was a production of my resentment of some of the aggressiveness of the waiters. At first I had no respect for them. These guys were shocking to me that their need for making money was so strong. With Brody I played him through as the version of the guy that I was so intimidated by when I first came up. A guy I... |

Ann Budge admits Hearts fans are responsible for Tynecastle’s new stand becoming a reality – and urged them to continue backing their team in every way. |
The club owner today explained why it’s vital supporters continue pledging to Foundation of Hearts, buying merchandise and attending matches in their thousands. |
City of Edinburgh Council last week approved planning permission for Hearts’ new £12million main stand, and Budge stressed that supporters will be the main beneficiaries. |
“It does matter, we absolutely have to keep their support because they’re the ones that spend money at the club,” she said. |
“They’re the ones that will help us benefit from the additional facilities that we’re going to have, by using them. It’s crucial. |
“We have a commitment from the Foundation of Hearts pledgers, it’s crucial that that commitment is realised and I’ve no reason to think for a minute that it won’t be. |
“It’s equally crucial that the supporters continue to buy the strips, come to hospitality, buy their season tickets – all of these things. |

It was a moment Mike Tauchman had waited a long time for. In parts of three years in the majors, he’d never hit a home run. So as soon as the ball went off his bat in the sixth inning Tuesday night, he wanted to soak it all in. |
Instead his mind went blank. |
"Nothing. It doesn’t really feel like anything. I wanted to enjoy it. For the first one, I watched it a little bit and tried to enjoy the moment. Try to remember that feeling and hopefully repeat it a lot,” Tauchman said after the Yankees 8-0 win over the Red Sox at the Stadium Tuesday night. |
The ball flew deep into the second tier of the right-field stands. Tauchman, 28, watched it, his hand went up in the air as he knew immediately it was gone. The three-run homer was his first in 79 big league at-bats. A father and son caught the ball and returned it to Tauchman in exchange for the usual signed balls and... |
“I met them out in the hallway and we traded some stuff. A couple of signed balls, pictures and stuff. They were really nice about it,” Tauchman said. “It was cool. It's a memory I'm going to have forever." |
Since the Yankees acquired Tauchman from the Rockies as insurance for their banged up outfield, he’s struggled at the plate. He was never meant to be a key cog in the lineup, but with 12 players on the injured list, he has been forced into a bigger role than expected. |
Tauchman went into Tuesday night’s game hitting 2-for-16 with two walks and seven strikeouts. |
Tuesday night he not only knocked his first career major league home run - a three run shot off Erasmo Ramirez - but he got a double of lefty Chris Sale. |
Yankee manager Aaron Boone said this could be a big boost for Tauchman. |
The Yankees acquired Tauchman from the Rockies the day before the end of spring training. He traveled across the country to meet his new teammates in Washington D.C. for the final exhibition game. It’s been a whirlwind, but he thinks he’s settled in now. |
Americans love their right to speak their mind. The First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech is one of the parts of the Bill of Rights we are most likely to cite.But you don’t have freedom of speech everywhere. One place that often surprises many people where it doesn’t generally apply: Your workplace. Despite wh... |
Indeed recently published an article closely examining the attitudes of American employees with respect to the role of politics in the workplace. It shows political views at work are increasingly becoming an issue and that Americans are concerned about it. Okay, so the article tells us what the employees think, but wha... |
From a strictly technical standpoint, the First Amendment bars Congress from enacting a law that would restrict an individual’s right to say or express themselves how they choose. Over time, that’s been expanded to include many actions by state and federal government. |
But it’s not absolute. For one thing, it only protects you from government actions. |
So as a general rule, a police officer can’t arrest you because you wore a hat supporting a particular political candidate. But your boss could fire you for the very same reason. However, there are a few exceptions or caveats that could apply to this statement. |
Involve an issue of public concern. If what’s being said is subject to a legitimate news topic and is being said as a regular citizen (rather than as an employee), then the speech is more likely to be protected from government-employer interference. |
Outweigh the government-employer’s interest in delivering efficient public services. Basically, if what the employee is saying is of little public concern and severely impedes the government-employer’s ability to carry out its function, then it’s less likely the speech will be protected. |
A good example of this involved a sheriff’s deputy who was fired for supporting the political rival of his boss. Specifically, the sheriff’s deputy “liked” the rival’s campaign Facebook page. The trial court initially concluded that “liking” something on Facebook did not fall under constitutionally protected speech, bu... |
If the employee’s speech concerns the employee’s rights to self-organize for collective bargaining purposes, it’s very difficult for the employer to ban that type of speech. This type of speech is protected by Sections 7 and 8 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) as a protected “concerted activity.” Concerted act... |
One exception to the concerted activity exception is if the employee’s speech is so abusive that it becomes “opprobrious,” then the NLRA’s concerted activity speech protections may not apply. |
This limit on concerted activity speech is fairly loose. In one case, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB, which enforces the NLRA) concluded that an employee’s Facebook post in support of the move to unionize, was still protected, despite the fact that it was also filled with a personal and profanity-filled attac... |
If an employer’s otherwise lawful restriction on employee speech affects only a certain group of people, then the employer’s policy may be a form of illegal discrimination. For instance, an employer might have a rule against employees wearing Nike apparel in support of Colin Kaepernick in the office because it’s overly... |
The Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, but that doesn’t mean states can’t make their own laws providing additional rights and protections. Some states bar private employers from taking adverse employment actions against employees based on their political speech outside of work. For example, in Califo... |
In Colorado, employers can’t have rules that may prevent an employee from engaging in political activities. And in Washington, D.C., political affiliation is a protected class. This means an employer that fires or disciplines an employee for their political speech could potentially be in trouble for violating the D.C. ... |
The exact protections and how they apply will be different in each state or jurisdiction. One thing to keep in mind is that many of these state laws only protect political speech outside of work. |
Even if there is no law preventing an employer from restricting its employee’s free speech rights, if an employer goes too far with a rule or policy, it can be bad for business. It can lead to anger and resentment among the workforce and if the public finds out, could turn off customers, leading to a drop-in sales or w... |
Looks like massively funded daily deal sensation Groupon has turned its attention to the budding ecommerce market in Latin America. The company has apparently acquired Chilean deal site ClanDescuento and opened a new site called ClubeUrbano in Brazil. |
We were alerted by Spanish-language press reports and blogs on the former news item, but were ironically made aware of its new Brazilian site through what will undoubtedly be one of its fiercest competitors in the country, freshly financed ClickOn. |
We’re also hearing not so positive things on ClanDescuento and Needish, the company that launched the Groupon clone in Chile and other Latin-American regions only a couple of months ago – but more on that later. |
An international management team, formed from the recent acquisition of Berlin-based Citydeal by Groupon, will oversee all Groupon Latin America operations. More expansion in countries such as Argentina, Mexico and neighboring countries are also on the Groupon road map, according to the press release. |
Not everyone in Chile and beyond is applauding ClanDescuento’s quick exit. High-profile entrepreneur and blogger Mariano Amartino wrote a blog post about the acquisition of the Chilean daily deal service, unequivocally labeling the service ‘Spamdescuento’. |
Basically, Amartino – and other commentators who have contacted us and commented on the news stories – allege that ClanDescuento has built up its user base almost entirely through aggressive and not so kosher acquisition tactics (aka spamming). Obviously, it’s hard to confirm that this is in fact the case, but the gene... |
Of course, since we don’t know how much the Chicago-headquartered startup paid (if at all, could be another type of deal), Groupon now has a starting point for further expansion in Latin America. It sounds like they are very much intent on using the name ClanDescuento for upcoming launches in other Latin-American citie... |
As the 115th Congress convenes on Tuesday, Republicans in the House will swiftly move to set rules in place that will allow the GOP to push ahead with plans to repeal big chunks of the Obama health law, though the first big floor vote on such a bill is not expected until the second week of January. |
Stuffed deep in a plan to revise the rules for the House in the new Congress is a section that makes it much more difficult for bills to be approved which would increase the federal deficit. |
"It shall not be in order to consider any bill or joint resolution reported by a committee, or amendment thereto or conference report thereon, that would cause a net increase in direct spending in excess of $5,000,000,000," the proposal states. |
But that new rule would be a problem for the GOP when it comes to Obamacare, because repealing the Obama health law - and the taxes associated with it - would likely result in higher deficits, according to the Congressional Budget Office. |
So, the plan specifically sets out an exception - just for the repeal of Obamacare. |
"This subsection shall not apply," the resolution states, to any effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act - the official name of the Obama health law, or part of the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, which held some parts of those same reforms. |
A vote on the rules changes is expected on Tuesday, soon after the House holds a vote to presumably re-elect Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as Speaker of the House. |
