Re:

mor will neeed a pr person. ideas?

Yes, several. Let me put together a few suggestions. But probably Matthew Hiltzig would be best. He handles high profile individuals (for many years was Harvey Weinstein's guy) and has lots of crisis experience. But I will think further. I saw Mort at a dinner last week. We had a nice conversation but he repeated himself to everybody there.

The other logical idea is Ken Frydman who, for many years, worked for Mort as the Communications guy at the Daily News, then went off on his own and has continued to advise Mort on a variety of things--including his Senate balloon of a few years ago. They certainly understand each other and, I believe, have a deep well of good will. Also, Ken is very plugged into NYC media, where the most of the attention is going to come from.
