Andrew Tobias, Treasurer

DNC Treasurer since 1999, Andrew Tobias was born and raised in New York. He majored in Slavic Languages and Literature at Harvard, but spent most of his time running the million-dollar student business conglomerate and publishing LET'S GO: THE STUDENT GUIDE TO EUROPE.  

After graduating in 1968, he had a brief sojourn in the high-flying world of business, rising to a VP spot at then-hot/then-not National Student Marketing Corporation (about which he wrote THE FUNNY MONEY GAME, his first book to gain wide national attention).
At Harvard in the 1960s, Andrew Tobias ostensibly majored in "Slavic languages and literatures" but spent most of his time running the million-dollar student business conglomerate and publishing Let's Go: The Student Guide To Europe.

After graduating, he had a brief sojourn in the world of business, becoming vice president of the once high-flying National Student Marketing Corporation (about whose crash he wrote The Funny Money Game, his first book to gain national attention).

...

Slightly older and only very slightly wiser, at 23, he entered Harvard Business School, writing magazine pieces for New York Magazine on the side, and then, after graduation, full-time.

For New York he covered the world of finance. When the magazine was sold, he followed its editor, Clay Felker, to Esquire.

For several years he had a column in Time and has frequently appeared in Parade, the widely read Sunday supplement.

His work has also appeared in such places as The New York Times Sunday Magazine and on the cover of Harvard Magazine.

His twelve books include three New York Times best-sellers Fire And Ice, a biography of Revlon founder Charles Revson; The Invisible Bankers, about the insurance industry; and The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, which, with more than a million copies sold and recently translated into Chinese, proved to be the only investment guide *he'd* ever need.

Another of his books, The Best Little Boy In The World, about growing up gay, has been continuously in print since 1973. It was added to the Modern Library Series 25 years later to coincide with publication of its sequel, The Best Little Boy In The World Grows Up.

In the early days of personal computers, his Managing Your Money software for several years dominated the personal finance category. It helped hundreds of thousands take control of their finances. He himself still uses it -- Managing Your Money for DOS, version 12.

His anti-smoking commercials have run throughout the former Soviet Union.

Here in America he hired planes with anti-smoking banners to fly up and down Long Island beaches in pursuit of the Newport Cigarettes planes.

His work on auto insurance reform led to the placement of three initiatives on the March 1996 California ballot. Backers ranged from former Secretary of State George Shultz to former San Francisco councilwoman Roberta Achtenberg to Quicken co-creator Tom Proulx.  The measures lost -- "and now look at the mess California is in," he says.

He has appeared on such shows as Today, Tonight, Tomorrow, Good Morning America, and Face the Nation.

With Jane Bryant Quinn, he co-hosted Beyond Wall Street, an eight-part PBS documentary.

He has received the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism, Harvard Magazine's Smith-Weld Prize, GLSEN's first Valedictorian Award, and the Consumer Federation of America Media Service Award.

He claims quite a few Republican friends, but since 1999 has been Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee.

He has written three New York Times best-sellers: FIRE AND ICE: the Charles Revson/Revlon Story ("The perfect book" -- The Wall Street Journal); THE ONLY INVESTMENT GUIDE YOU'LL EVER NEED ("The only investment guide many will indeed ever need." -- Barron's); and THE INVISIBLE BANKERS: Everything the Insurance Industry Never Wanted You to Know ("Entertaining and irreverent." -- Fortune).

His coming of age memoir, THE BEST LITTLE BOY IN THE WORLD, was added to the Modern Library series in September 1998 to coincide with its 25th anniversary and publication of the sequel -- THE BEST LITTLE BOY IN THE WORLD GROWS UP.  

Andrew Tobias' MANAGING YOUR MONEY, a software program he helped to create, dominated its market for several years and helped hundreds of thousands of people take control of their finances.

In the fall of 1997, he co-hosted BEYOND WALL STREET, an eight-part PBS documentary.

He has received the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism, Harvard Magazine's 1998 Smith-Weld Prize, and the Consumer Federation of America Media Service Award.

He has worked actively to discourage kids from becoming smokers and to reform the auto insurance system.

Charles Revson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Haskell Revson (October 11, 1906 – August 24, 1975) was a pioneering cosmetics industry executive who created and managed Revlon through five decades.  

Early age

Revson was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, near Boston, Massachusetts.[1] He was raised in Manchester, New Hampshire, after his family immigrated from Canada to the United States. His father Samuel Revson was born in Lithuania and of a Russian Jewish heritage. His mother Jeanette Weiss Revson was born in Austro-Hungary of German Jewish ancestry. His parents emigrated to Boston in the late 19th century, where they had eight other children. Jeanette died young of pneumonia in the 1920s. Jeanette Weiss Revson parent's, Saul J. and Mary Ella Greenberg Weiss, influenced and shaped many of their offspring to either marry or give birth to visionary, ambitious, and glamorous fashion, film, real estate, banking, cosmetic, and industrial icons in the 20th century. Many of the Weiss family descendants exhibited creativity that was tenaciously promoted and underscored by both perfectionism and aestheticism that was evident in Charles Revson's career.[2] Revson, like many other Weiss family descendants, disassociated from most of the family of origin to fiercely create an autonomous identity.[2] Yet, there were his maternal uncles and aunts, who impacted the lives of so many less fortunate family members to polish their images and achieve unparalleled standards of excellence that influenced him at a young age.[2]

Revson's father worked as a cigar roller in Manchester, not far from where the Revsons lived in the Squog Area, a French-Canadian neighborhood that was part of Manchester's "Little Canada". Charles Revson's parents, Samuel and Jeanette Weiss Revson,[3] were struggling factory workers with their family of three sons. Revson moved to Boston to live with Weiss family members[4] after graduating from Manchester High School West.[2]

Founding of Revlon

When Elka, the cosmetics company he worked for, did not promote him to the position of national distributor, Revson decided to go into business for himself.[1] Beginning in 1932, the company specialized in nail polish, offering a wider variety of colors than had been currently available. It was marketed through beauty salons and, later, department stores. Revlon Cosmetics then introduced matching lipsticks and entered the perfume and fragrance market with great success. Revson served as president of the firm from 1932 to 1962, and then as chairman until his death in 1975.[citation needed]

Quiz show scandals

In the mid-1950s the company sponsored the quiz show The $64,000 Question, which became a television phenomenon and boosted sales considerably. Revson and his brother Martin, second in charge at the company, allegedly demanded that the producers control the questions in order to keep them winning and maintain the program's high ratings. This sparked what later became known as the quiz show scandal, as the The $64,000 Question, The Challenge and Twenty One led to the duplication of the producers' and sponsors' dubious methods to ensure a large viewership.[5]  

Steve Carlin, executive producer of Entertainment Productions, Inc., which produced The $64,000 Question and The $64,000 Challenge, was called to testify before Congress about the rigging of the TV quiz shows. He said that Revlon demanded the shows be rigged to ensure high ratings. "There is a tradition in television...of trying to please the client," Carlin testified. "We were willing to please the client." Though they testified, neither Charles nor Martin Revson ever became the subjects of an official inquiry. By the time the quiz show phenomenon was over, killed by the revelations, Revlon had vastly increased its market share and was established as an international behemoth in its niche.[5]  

Personality

Charles H. Revson was a hard-driven perfectionist whose overbearing, imperious personality led most of his business partners to sever their connections with him by 1965. Revlon Cosmetics, however, was phenomenally successful, and when Revson died, he reportedly was a billionaire.

Personal life

Charles Revson was married three times. His first marriage was brief. His second marriage was to Ancky Revson, where they had two sons John Revson and Charles Revson, Jr. He married a third time to Lynn Revson, and adopted her two sons from her former marriage.He was also having an affair with actress/singer Eartha Kitt. His nephew, son of Martin Revson, Peter Revson, and Formula One racecar driver, predeceased him in 1974. Peter Revson's younger brother Doug Revson died before him in a racecar accident in Denmark in 1967. Peter was engaged to 1973 Miss World, Marjorie Wallace14 days before his fatal accident in practice for the 1974 South African Grand Prix. Martin Revson's youngest daughter Jennifer Revson perpetuates Peter Revson's legacy today.[6]

Quotes

"Look, kiddie. I built this business by being a bastard. I run it by being a bastard. I'll always be a bastard, and don't you ever try to change me." —Charles Revson to a senior executive in the company  

"In the factory we make cosmetics; in the drugstore we sell hope."

"I don't meet the competition, I destroy it."

Philanthropy

In 1956, Revson established the Charles H. Revson Foundation, which he funded with over $10 million dollars during his lifetime. The foundation funded schools, hospitals, and service organizations serving the Jewish community, mostly located in New York. Upon his death, Revson endowed the foundation with $68 million from his estate and granted the board of directors the discretion to chart the foundation's future course. In 1978, the foundation began a formal grantmaking process, and since that time, it has disbursed a total of $145 million in grants and its endowment has grown from $68 million to $141 million.[7]
