Philip J Smith, a Power on Broadway, Is Dead at 89 The New York Times
In October 1985 Arthur Easton was murdered in his Papakura family home. Mowatt killed himself at Woodhill Forest north of Auckland days after the double murder. In this episode of A Moment In Crime I'll tell you why - and how - Prakash killed Val, and what he told police. Mr. Smith joined Shubert in 1957, and 60 years later he recalled his first day on the job as the box-office manager of the Imperial Theater, a 1,400-seat musical venue on West 45th Street. Robert E. Wankel, who succeeded Mr. Smith as president, had been Shubert’s co-chief executive officer with Mr. Smith from 2008 until June, when Mr. Smith retired and was named chairman emeritus. For much of his six-decade Shubert career, Mr. Smith was the protégé of the creative giants Gerald Schoenfeld, the chairman, and Bernard B. Jacobs, the president.
They were widely credited with reviving a moribund Broadway — and Shubert too — in the 1970s with hits like “Pippin,” “Equus” and “A Chorus Line,” the 1975 Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that ran for 15 years. He died while hiking the Bailey Range Traverse in the Olympic Mountains, surrounded by the high peaks and wildflowers he loved. Philip worked as a family doctor in Marysville, Washington, for 40 years, forging a profound connection to many patients, delivering three generations of babies, and relishing the chance to see them grow and thrive.
MurderCriminal penaltyLife imprisonmentPhilip John Smith is an English spree killer serving a life sentence for the murders of three women in Birmingham. A former fairground worker employed at the Rainbow pub in the Digbeth area of the city, Smith killed his victims over a four-day period in November 2000, befriending two of them at the Rainbow before carrying out the crimes. All three victims were mutilated almost beyond recognition, but Smith was quickly identified as the killer because of the overwhelming evidence linking him to the deaths. He began his Real Estate career as a Real Estate Representative with Shell Oil Company upon graduation.
In the 1980s, with Mr. Wankel, he helped found Telecharge, Shubert’s national ticketing service, which began with phone sales and later incorporated internet sales. Shubert also contributed a major share of the $12.5 billion that Broadway generated yearly to the city’s economy, including production costs, ticket prices, tourism and ancillary spending, according to the Broadway League, the industry trade group. Privately held, Shubert does not report finances, but its reach and Mr. Smith’s influence were undoubted. As the owner of 40 percent of Broadway’s 41 theaters, the organization had hefty shares of their audiences and revenues of about $1.5 billion before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the industry for most of last year and into this one.
Paintwork and fragments of glass found on Jordan's body matched those from Smith's car, including a broken light cluster which he had thrown into the car's boot. When he was with Shell Oil Company he was honored by the Sales and Marketing Executives Association of San Francisco as Shell Oil Company’s Distinguished Salesman Award 1964. In 1987 he was cited in Who’s Who in California because he demonstrated outstanding service in his own field of endeavor. He supported Kids’ Country an extended day care program serving the children of the San Ramon Valley.

The day the teen broke his silence, his parents went straight to the police. However, Corrections prefers that inmates send valuable items like watches and jewelry to their friends. Watson said the radio rules were set to be reviewed to see if they were “fit for purpose”.
Smith claimed there was no legal reason to withhold the items from him. He argued that he had the right to freedom of expression and said his case was “no different” from inmates who were allowed to wear manaia, pounamu and rosaries. “It has become very burdensome for prisoners and their families to find a compliant stereo, and expensive,” he said. In addition to prison-provided clothing, any personal items that inmates desire must be approved by the particular prison warden through an application process. It is understood that the collar was not allowed for security reasons, to protect him and other inmates from potential danger, including strangulation. He went to a backpacker in Rio de Janeiro, where a fellow guest recognized him from news reports and tipped off Brazilian police.
