ESTEEMED EXEC

In an effort to come up with a “story,” Robert Hilburn and Chuck Philips play up Clive Davis’ “controversies,” “rocky stretches” and “ups and downs” way too much (“The Relentless Hit Man,” Dec. 1).

Clive Davis commands almost universal respect and admiration within the music industry.
