Ronald Goldfarb is a Washington, D.C. attorney, author, and literary agent. He is listed in Who's Who In the United States, Who's Who In Law, and other listing of prominent Americans, writers and scholars.
Born in New Jersey and educated in its public schools, he began college (at 16) at Syracuse University. Combining his last year of undergraduate work (BA 1954) with his first year of law school, he graduated (LLB) in 1956 and was one of the youngest to be admitted to the New York Bar that year. He continued his education at Yale Law School, where he earned Masters (LLM, 1960) and Doctorate (JSD, 1962) degrees from Yale. He was later admitted to the California and District of Columbia and United States Supreme Court bars.
Goldfarb's work at Yale Law School was interrupted when he accepted a commission and served three years in the United Sates Air Force JAG, where he prosecuted and defended numerous courts-martial, cases running the gamut from AWOL to murder and desertion (capital offenses).
For a year, after completing his military service and graduation from Yale, Goldfarb was the Arthur Garfield Hays Fellow at New York University Law School where worked on his first book, The Contempt Power, published in 1963 by Columbia University Press and in 1971 in paperback by Anchor Books. ("This book is a clear and eloquent presentation of the history of the contempt power and the dangers inherent in that power as it is being used at present. The book will prove to be as interesting to laymen as it is to lawyers" - Thurman Arnold, The New Republic) During that year at New York University, he also worked as legal counsel for the American Jewish Congress, Commission on Law and Social Action, a civil rights and civil liberties organization based in New York City.
In 1961, Goldfarb was recruited to join the New Frontier. He was a member of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's Organized Crimes and Racketeering Section of the Department of Justice for almost four years, and conducted grand jury investigations and successful multi-defendant criminal trials in deferral courts in Florida, Kentucky, and Ohio. For several months in 1964, the Justice Department delegated Goldfarb to the Presidential Task Force which created the Office of Economic Opportunity under the guidance of Sargent Shriver. When Robert F. Kennedy ran for the U.S. Senate in New York, he recruited Goldfarb to work on that campaign as a speech writer. He resigned from the Justice Department to do so.
Goldfarb's book, Perfect Villains, Imperfect Heroes, about those Justice Department experiences was published in 1995 by Random House; paperback in 2002 by Capital Books. "Mr. Goldfarb's descriptions of the investigative and prosecutorial processes are dead-accurate and engrossing. He richly details the intellectual, ethical and emotional challenges." - Lloyd George Parry, The Baltimore Sun. "...a compelling piece of work, strongly evocative of an era that seems, more and more, to have been one of the most extraordinary periods in our history." - Don Delillo, author, Underworld, White Noise, and The Body Artist. "You've caught him well, and no one else has remotely touched what you have done about the fight against organized crime. So it is important as well as moving."Anthony Lewis, The New York Times. Perfect Villains, Imperfect Heroes and the story of one of his trials have been optioned for a movie.
After the successful Kennedy senate campaign, Goldfarb handled select cases (successfully arguing one appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. v. Harris), and wrote two books: the award winning, Ransom, A Critique of the American Bail System (introduction by Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg) published by Harper & Row (1965), paperback by John Wiley (1967). "Bail is a barnacle on the back of the poor. In this book, Goldfarb brilliantly describes how the poor suffer from this iniquitous anachronism and tells why it should be uprooted from our law." J. Skelly Wright, United States Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals. "Ransom is a deep indictment of current bail practices. It blends scholarship and commitment in pointing the way toward fulfilling the promises of the Constitution, and the ancient pledges of Anglo-American liberties. I hope all lawyers, and concerned citizens, will read his book"Robert F. Kennedy United States Senator. Goldfarb also co-wrote Crime and Publicity-The Impact of News of the Administration of Justice, with Alfred Friendly, the managing editor of The Washington Post (1967), a book published and sponsored by The Twentieth Century Fund. Paperback by Vintage (1968).
The Justice Department delegated Goldfarb to the interagency Task Force which worked on the creation of the poverty program, OEO, under Sarge Shriver who would later become Goldfarb's client in the writing of his biography, Sarge.
In 1966, Goldfarb founded a law firm with Stephen Kurzman (formerly legislative assistant to New York Senator Jacob Javits) which specialized in special legal assignments (both worked on the Kerner Commission study of riots; Goldfarb was a consultant to The Brookings Institution on courts and The Administration of Justice, and to the California Legislature's Study of Courts and The Administration of Justice in California.) He was appointed Special Counsel to the United States House of Representatives Inquiry into the charges against Representative Adam Clayton Powell. He taught at many colleges as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow for one-week periods.
The firm changed members in ensuing years: Goldfarb & Singer; Goldfarb, Singer, & Austern; Goldfarb, Kaufman, & O'Toole; presently, Goldfarb & Associates. He specializes in public interest law, particularly in correctional reform (trying a landmark Eighth Amendment case condemning conditions at the D.C. Jail, peacefully negotiating a hostage-taking riot at the jail, organizing an ex-offender organization which has operated successfully for about forty years. He also was counsel for other public interest organizations: Washington Independent Writers; The Association for the Advancement of the Humanities; The Association of Writers and Writing Programs.
With a Ford Foundation grant he co-authored a book on correctional reform, After Conviction, Simon & Schuster, 1973, with a colleague, Linda Singer (paperback in 1977). "After Conviction contains not only a massive indictment of the criminal justice system, but also recommendations for sensible and workable reforms. Ron Goldfarb is one of the most thoughtful and knowledgeable people writing on the criminal justice system today. After Conviction is a real contribution to the field." Tom Wicker. "After Conviction is magnificent. . .well written. . .authoritative.. It is a sort of book that really hadn't existed until Ron Goldfarb put it together." Karl Menninger.
Again for The Twentieth Century Fund, he wrote Jails-The Ultimate Ghetto, Doubleday (1975; Anchor paperback, 1976).
Judge Charles Richey, D.C. Federal District Court, appointed Goldfarb Chairman of a Special Review Committee created to implement a major nationwide court order against the Department of Labor regarding the improvement of living and work conditions of migrant and seasonal farm workers. For two years, he conducted hearings around the United States on behalf of the Court. Goldfarb's work for the court was praised by Judge Richey. The Ford Foundation supported Goldfarb's later book on the subject, A Caste of Despair, Migrant Farm workers in the Untied States, Iowa State University Press (1981). "Here is a strongly worded, trenchant, discerning, fair-minded analysis of a major American social problem. Here, too, is a kind of exemplary witness what it means to be a compassionate, high-minded lawyer and what it means, as a matter of fact, to remember in one's mind and heart, in one's working life as an attorney, as a citizen, those word engraved on the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C., 'Equal Justice Under Law.' One concludes the reading of this book wishing (hope against hope!) that it will be the very last one written and wishing, too, that those who practice the law could claim more colleagues such as Ronald Goldfarb, a moral example to a profession, to all of us." from the Foreword by Robert Coles.
Goldfarb created a course for judges and lawyers on legal writing which was conducted for many hears under the auspices of the National Center for State Trial Judges, and later privately. With Professor James Raymond, Goldfarb wrote Clear Understanding-A Guide to Legal Writing, published by random House (1983).
Goldfarb's law practice evolved into representing writer's organizations, The Washington Independent Writers for many years and the Association of Writers and Writing Programs to the present. He has represented hundreds of writers as well, as their attorney and agent. His literary practice evolved into an active literary agency bearing his name. He co authored The Writer's Lawyer, Essential Legal Advice for Writers and Editors in All Media with a colleague, Gail Ross (Times Books, 1989). "When writers want to make sure they've got it absolutely right, Ron Goldfarb is the one they turn to. And The Writer's Lawyer is the book they should read." Nick Kotz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
Goldfarb also has presided over MainStreet, A Television Production Company, organized with Hodding Carter in 1987. Goldfarb hosted a weekly discussion show on public television, Devil's Advocate, and produced many television shows and documentaries, some of which have won awards, most recently Desperate Hours, winner of the District of Columbia Independent Film Festival Award in 2002. MainStreet is now associated with Matador Productions, a New York city-based movie, television and web production company.
In 1998, Goldfarb wrote TV or Not TV, Television, Justice and the Courts, again with support from the Century Fund, and published by New York University Press. "Going beyond the obvious controversial of recent years, Goldfarb surveys the role of television in courtrooms with cook, but crisp detachment. He brings historical context, legal analysis, and rich experience to bear on the issue, concluding that courts are public institutions that do not belong exclusively to the judges and lawyers who run them. His persuasive argument for greater openness is bound to influence future de bate on the topic." Sanford J. Ungar, Dean, School of Communication, American University. "A tour de force, a one-stop repository of the history, facts and the law of the matter. I plan to plagiarize from it shamelessly. This is an important subject, and Goldfarb's book provides the first comprehensive, in-depth study of the issue." Fred Graham, Chief Anchor, Managing Editor, Court TV. "Goldfarb argues persuasively for cameras in the courtroom, O. J. notwithstanding. He is aware of the problems but believes strongly that the more open a courtroom, the more open and free our society. The challenge, which he describes so well, is to balance the new demanding technology against our traditional dedication to democracy." Marvin Kalb, Director, Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy, Harvard University. In his writings and congressional testimony Goldfarb has advocated televising Supreme Court arguments and decisions.
Goldfarb has contributed chapters to several books, and selections to several encyclopedias, and is the author of many law journal articles, and about 300 newspaper articles and op-eds. He writes a regular monthly book review or article for The Washington Lawyer, journal of the District of Columbia Bar Association. He was a long time board member of The Alliance For Justice, and served on other boards such as Common Cause, American Jewish Committee, Yale Law School Association, The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. He also worked on several Presidential Commissions, including the National Advisory Commission of civil disorders, Commission to Revise Federal Criminal Law, and The Agenda for the Eighties.
Goldfarb has contributed chapters to several books, including a chapter on Politics At The Justice Department in the book, Conspiracy: The Implications of the Harrisburg Trial for the Democratic Tradition, edited by John Raines; he wrote the Foreword to Freedom For Sale, A National Study of Pretrial Release by Paul B. Wice, and How To Try A Criminal Case, American Trial Lawyers Association book, 1967. He has contributed selections to several encyclopedias on law and government: The Encyclopedia of Criminology, edited by Raymond Corsini, Macmillan, 1994; The encyclopedia of the United States Congress, Commission of the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution Project, Simon & Schuster, 1994; The Encyclopedia of Publishing and Book arts, Henry Holt, Spring 1995; The Macmillan Encyclopedia , 1997; The constitution and Its Amendments and Cameras in courts; and in the Yale Biographical Dictionary of Law, a sketch on Fred Rodell.
His eleventh book, In Confidence: When to Protect Secrecy and When to Require Disclosure, was published by Yale University Press in 2009. James Srodes, writing in The Washington Times called Inc Confidence "an important book" and the author "a creative legal philosopher," concluding, "This book is a must-read...for both the layman and legal professional." The Electronic Privacy Information Center review stated: ". . .Goldfarb's book is packed with interesting history, case studies, and legislative efforts to chart the way for confidentiality. . .The book is only 244 pages, but do not be misled you must set aside some quiet time to really get the best out of the experience of reading 'In confidence' . . .This book is written from the perspective of a very good legal mind. . .Goldfarb does an excellent job at provoking and stimulating the thought processes around confidentiality which is a slice of the privacy landscape." "The book is a dizzying journey through the history of confidentiality and privacy, questions of privilege, government secrecy, and game changing technologies that are ruling all of these issues. Despite the weight of the topics. . .the work reads more like an adventure story one that impacts our daily lives. . .Ronald Goldfarb makes these issues as current and personal as today's twitter message. . .In Confidence is very much a happening work that puts what read on the front pages in full historic, and current, perspective." Joseph Rothstein, Editor, EINNews.Com. The American Prospect reviewer added, Goldfarb draws on an impressive store of knowledge about the subject. . .[and] manages to stake out his own territory. He provides a guide to the legal milestones in confidentiality and includes relatively new media in his survey. . .manages to bring these difficult issues out into the open and to provide insight. . ." "Well balanced discussion and insightful comments. . .A great job. Deserves a wide audience. . ." Justice Earl Johnson (Ret.), Scholar in Residence Western Center on Law and Poverty.
He is the author of many law journal articles, and over 300 newspaper articles, book reviews, and op-eds.
Goldfarb lives and works in Alexandria, Virginia and Key Biscayne, Florida. He is married to Joanne Jacob, an award-winning architect. They have three children, Jody, a social worker, Nicholas, a television and movie writer and producer, and Maximilian, artist, and six grandchildren.

Goldfarb and Associates, as Washington, D.C. law firm and literary agency, was founded in 1966 by Ronald Goldfarb, an attorney and author. We work closely with MainStreet Media, a television production company owned by Mr. Goldfarb. Our location in the capital enables us to represent many well-known print journalists, television correspondents, policy makers, and politicians, in both the fiction and non fiction fields. But many of our clients come from all over this country and some from abroad. Through our work with writers organizations, we are constantly adding new and talented writers to our list of literary clients, and matching collaborators with projects in need of authors or editors. We have found writers to develop book ideas at the request of publishers. Our roster of television and movie projects is growing.
Ronald Goldfarb is an experienced trial lawyer and veteran literary agent, as well as the author of eleven books and over 300 articles. Robbie Anna Hare, a native Australian, currently residing both in Israel and in the United States, is a literary agent with experience as a radio and television ;producer, reporter, and writer.
The firm is accepting select new projects, usually on the basis of personal referrals, or from existing clients. Serious non-fiction is our most active area.

MAINSTREET A TELEVISION PRODUCTION COMPANY |
MainStreet was founded twenty years ago by the eminent journalist Hodding Carter, III and Ronald Goldfarb, Washington, D.C. attorney, author and literary agent. When Carter left to run the Knight Foundation, Goldfarb assumed sole ownership. The backgrounds of the present board of directors are attached. The Internal Revenue Service has granted MainStreet 501C3 status.
Most of MainStreet's work has been with public television, although it has done contract work for public interest organizations. Capitol Journal, a weekly interview show, focused on Congress, and was hosted by Carter. We also produced a segment of Congress for the McNeil/Lehrer News Hour. Devil's Advocate was a weekly roundtable on legal issues, hosted by Goldfarb. Our one-hour documentary about Senator Sam Ervin, The Last of the Founding Fathers, won that year's prestigious Ohio State Journalism award for documentaries. Another one- hour special on Senator Claude Pepper followed.
In 2002, Desperate Hours recently won the District of Columbia's Independent Film Festival award as the year's best documentary, both the juried award and the audience award. Other documentaries are in the works, including the story of The Sonderkommandos, with original funding from Steven Spielberg's Righteous Persons Foundation.
MainStreet works on appropriate collaborations with Matador Productions, a for-profit movie, television, web production company, presided over by Nicholas Goldfarb in New York City.

| Bill Persky |
Bill Persky considers himself one of the luckiest people in the entertainment business. Not just for the five Emmy Awards and the three memorable series he has been associated with: The Dick Van Dyke Show; creator of That Girl; producer, head writer, director of Kate and Allie. It's that is his forty years in television and film and over five hundred productions, he only can thin of a handful he isn't proud of, and only one experience he didn't enjoy, even though the picture was a success. He never lost sight of the fact the he was in a business that was not only lucrative, but filled with great people and wonderful experiences.
"One day, while rehearsing a dance number for a Mary Tyler Moore Special, Mary came up to me, out of breath and sweating. She took a swig of my beer and asked, 'Billy, what are the other people doing?' I knew what she meant. We were working at something we loved, fill with laughs, applause and rewards at every turn, and we should never lose sight of it."
The good fortune of working for, and being mentored by Carl Reiner on the Van Dyke Show in the 1960's, was an education that led to everything that followed. Persky and his partner, Sam Denoff, wrote forty-five episodes that resulted in three Emmy Awards, one being nominated for two in the same year. Creating and executive producing That Girl for Marlo Thomas, resulted in five wonderful years on the air, and to this day women from 15 to 50 tell me how it impacted their lives.
A decision to become a director led to the end of the partnership with Sam Denoff, but not before they added another Emmy for producing The First Bill Cosby Special in 1870. His directing career was largely in the area of television pilots resulting in 18 of the 25 he directed going on the air as series. His favorite was the very special Who's The Boss?
In 1982, after moving to New York, Bill was approached by CBS to develop a show they were interested in called Two Mommies, to star Jane Curtain and Susan St. James. It evolved into Kate and Allie, and let to an Emmy as Best Director in 1983.
After five years of Kate and Allie, there was one more series, Working It Out, that was at once his greatest love and greatest disappoint. With rave reviews and a chance at a really breakthrough, its time slot never exposed it to the audience for which it was intended. He refused to continue doing it unless it was moved. It was not; so, Bill moved on to more personal pursuits writing screenplays, teaching and mentoring young writers and performers.
It was more satisfying than fight a business that had become more respectful of youth, than experience, and talent. That said, he wrote a comedy pilot, with partner John Markum, which they sold to NBC for the 2005 season. It's really turning into a great and unexpected experience and one with without pressure because "I don't need the money and I won't accept aggravation. At 73, with a great wife, great kids and great friends, why should I?"
