FALK TALK: THE SPORTING NEWS LOOKS AT THE UBER AGENT

     FAME CEO DAVID FALK is profiled by Steve Marantz in THE
SPORTING NEWS.  Marantz writes Falk and client MICHAEL JORDAN
were pressed by filmmaker Randall Fried to fulfill an obligation
for a proposed movie, "Heaven is a Playground."  Falk told Fried:
"You don't know who you are dealing with. I'm a dirty
streetfighter. If you take legal action over this, I'll make sure
you never work in the film industry again. ... You'll be working
in Outer Mongolia." Marantz: "Falk is at the top.  He is there
... because of his grasp of form -- and his formlessness -- in a
realm of mirage. ... He sees the law as a malleable device
existing primarily to torment him.  Perhaps most revealingly, he
sees basketball as a platform for individual display" (TSN,
10/14).
