Today In Judith Regan: More On The Mezuzah Thing
Remember when we mentioned the rumor that scandalous fired publisher Judith Regan had once traipsed through the halls of her old UWS apartment building, replacing the scrolls inside her neighbors' mezuzot with torn-up dollar bills? Today, the Times reiterates the story, adding the salient detail that she was investigated and reprimanded by HarperCollins three years ago for bragging about it to her staff. Uh, so much for the Forward's whole "the one allegation that had never appeared on her rap sheet" thing. The Times caps the story by reminding us that Judith maybe kind of has had an eensy problem with ethnic slurs for years and years:
two former employees said they had received cash settlements as part of a negotiated deal to leave in the wake of their complaints against Ms. Regan. They and others questioned why HarperCollins had tolerated the publisher's behavior.
"Others" like 'every sentient life form on the planet Earth,' yes.
