Duveen: The Story of the Most Spectacular Art Dealer of All Time
SAMUAL N. BEHRMAN (1893-1973), the son of a Jewish grocer, studied drama at Harvard and Columbia Universities.  Before achieving success as a playwright, he worked atThe New York Times, but was fired after it was discovered that the entertaining responses he was writing for the "Queries and Answers" section were to questions that he himself had submitted.  He was acclaimed for the rarefied wit of plays such as "Wine of Choice," "The Second Man," and "End of Summer," and was also the author of a biography of Max Beerbohm.  Upon his death, friends in show business remembered him as "the eighth of the seven lively arts."
