Not to sound sordid but I've often wondered why there aren't more of these stories considering the theme: abusive powerful boss constantly raging against assistant. Face it with all the ambitious young agency workers busting their ass rolling calls and taking endless abuse come up.. this sad story serves as a warning. The two temperaments that of Stein and the temp worker/ assistant were simply combustible. Frequently people don't quit when they should or could. I don't blame Linda Stein but she sounds like a very difficult unpleasant person. do by is not a good habit to indulge in for a variety of reasons. Thanks. TB for the beat story from so many sources.
