NP. bit more on Candida Donadio if interested

[Mark Kohut]

At home, she kept a macaw in a cage--if her bird gnawed on a manuscript, she said,  it was 
probably good.....She'd consult the I Ching to make office decisions...Once, she told her colleague
Neil Olson that she was taking Good Friday off. "Neil, we don't know, he may have been the son
of God", she said.
 
When a new S & S editor, Herman Gollob---who once used a plastic, full-sized chicken as a sales conference presentation prop---
asked others "whether she fucked her clients to get them?" ....and when he met Candida she confronted him": "You think I fuck my writers
to get them?", angrily....
 
"I meant it as a compliment," said Herman and they were tight friends ever after......
 
barrels of Heller-like laughs.....
