As credible allegations emerged over the past few weeks of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults, some observers marveled: It had been going on since the early 1980s.
Weinstein, now 65, was only 30 then. How on earth could this have been happening for so long?
Well, make room, if you can stomach it, for “Denny the Hustler,” a character in a 1971 nightlife column in the University of Buffalo student newspaper, the Spectrum.
The column (“Patchworks”) was written by Weinstein and Corky Burger, his longtime business partner in promoting concerts and art house films.
