Jerry Rubin was a frequent guest, he checking into ‘Wanda’s Basement’ to play Networking with Bruce Perlowin, who was preparing to move Svetlana in when she got out of the Fed lock-up. Both hippie businessmen liked the ambience of the typical straight home. We called Wanda ‘Mrs. Cleaver’.
“Sometime in the mid-70s Rubin reinvented himself as a businessman. Friend and fellow Yippie Stew Albert claimed Rubin’s new ambition was giving capitalists a social consciousness. In 1980 he began a new career on Wall Street as stockbroker with the brokerage firm John Muir & Co. “I know that I can be more effective today wearing a suit and tie and working on Wall Street than I can be dancing outside the walls of power,”[1] he said. In the 1980s, he became known for his promotion of business networking, having created Business Networking Salons, Inc., a company that organized parties at the Studio 54 and Palladium nightclubs in Manhattan, where thousands of young professionals and entrepreneurs met and shared ideas. Near the end of his life, Rubin became interested in the science of life extension and was heavily involved in multi-level marketing of health foods and nutritional supplements.[42] His business activities included marketing of a nutritional drink named Wow! that contained bee pollen, ginseng and kelp.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rubin
