註釋
Lew Grade was unassailable for a quarter of a century as first and agent and then as a television executive; he was also a pre-eminent salesman. Grade, successively Mr., Sir Lew, and Lord, revelled in perhaps the most uncritical press any top British businessman has ever enjoyed. Then, in less than two years, Grade's world collapsed in full public gaze. The relationship so carefully nurtured with Fleet Street backfired, as columns of print were now unreeled dealing with gigantic salaries, lavish perks, internecine strife and inept decision making. Amid a succeeding flurry of cascading profits, boardroom coups, pay-off rows and humiliating belt-tightening, Grade's business empire itself was swept away from him after one of the most newsworthy take-overs in City history.
