Found out from Virginia that the mysterious “brothers” backing James Alex are Jack and Bob Abramoff, Orthodox Jews who’ve made three films in Lesotho (independent monarchy landlocked by South Africa), including Red Scorpion, and are looking for their fourth. They’re talking about making In the Dark for $7 million.
Brian is happy as a clam. Alan’s going to make an offer on Nintendo POP this week. Denis wants Broderbund France to start on the Atari and Amiga conversions right away. Henry is eager to get going. Applefest is next weekend.
Everything is beautiful…

Wow, didn’t expect to see his name here.
That’s “the” Jack Abramoff, who later became a well-known lobbyist. During Bush 43′s presidency he was convicted of conspiracy and fraud and, in the process, brought down many gov’t officials on corruption charges. Made big news for a while.
