"These were not the rags to riches stories," Ehrlich says. Boseky is one of a few black sheep in New Crowd, which focuses primarily on the success tales of in- vestment chiefs, Felix Rohatyn of Lazard Freres, Sandy Weill of Shearson Hayden Stone Inc. and John Gutfreund of Solomon Brothers. Weill is portrayed as tough but sincere and kind. Gutfriend, like Boesky, is treated as a cold businessman. A few other Wall Street investors made famous for other reasons than success join Boesky in New Crowd. Drexel Burnham Lambert's Michael Milken, once king of junk bonds, now is awaiting trial on a myriad of security- law charges. And there is mention of investment banker Martin Siegel, who provided inside information to Boesky. Corporate raiders Carl Icahn, Saul Steinberg, Irwin Jacobs and Ronald Perelman also are major players of the New Crowd. New Crowd, which took five years to complete, lived through the insider trading scandal and the stock market crash of October 1987. Boesky, Ehrlich says, was interviewed five times at the Harvard Club in New York City. Each time, Boesky had a press agent on hand to greet the writers and offer them gourmet meals. Boesky was consistently 1 1/2 hours late. He was con- trolling. He wouldn't allow the writers to tape inter- views, but his press agent taped them for Boesky. The authors haven't spoken with Boesky since his arrest and conviction, but a mutual friend speaks regularly with Boesky, who has phone privileges. "Boesky says he wants to make another fortune — this time the honest way." IRA BERKOW Continued from Page 29 of the bigger picture of teamwork, of the opportuni- ty to rise democratically on sheer ability alone .. .and (how) it was as tough to suc- ceed in that game as it was to succeed in the country at large," Berkow says. He agreed to take the job. Sitting beside his pool, Greenberg dictated his memoirs. Transcribed, they came out to about 700 pages. Greenberg's son, Stephen, passed them on to Berkow for editing. As Berkow read, he had many questions, which he passed to Stephen, who spoke with his father. By then, Hank Greenberg was in the hospital dying of cancer. But Greenberg welcomed the opportunity to work, Berkow says. "Hank wanted so much to finish this book that his son says it actually kept him alive an extra two or three months." In addition to editing the Greenberg manuscript, Berkow conducted numerous interviews and researched old newspaper clippings about the baseball star. The result is a- book filled with some of the lesser-known stories about Greenberg, such as how he stayed home from school on Halloween because all the kids in the Greenwich Village beat up on the Jews, and the more famous — like the time he refused to play baseball on Yom Kippur. It was a difficult decision, Berkow says. He knew his fellow Jews wanted him to sit the game out. He also knew the fans and the team were counting on him. Two of Berkow's favorite incidents in Hank Greenberg center on two other baseball greats Moe Berg and Jackie Robinson. Berg, who played with the White Sox, was one of the few Jews in baseball in the 1930s. "He was a good- natured, good-looking guy, and kind of mysterious," Greenberg wrote in his book. "In later years we learned that he worked as a spy for the United States just before and during the Second World War." Robinson was the first black player in the major leagues. In his book, he re- membered playing against Robinson and the Dodgers. Many of Greenberg's teammates were taunting Robinson. "Hey, coal mine, hey, coal mine, we're going to get you!" they called. "Jackie turned his ,head," Greenberg wrote. "He was like a prince. He kept his chin up and kept playing as hard as he could. He was something to admire that afternoon." Later, the two met at first base. "Don't pay any atten- tion to these Southern jockeys," Greenberg told Robinson. "They aren't wor- th anything as far as you're
