		Since Leventhal's name may not be familiar outside the circle of folkies and left-wing activists, a short synopsis is in order.
		And Leventhal, who easily could have moved on to safer ground, never gave up on them — or on any of the other artists in his care who were affected similarly by the political climate.
		Presenters and impresarios should study the Leventhal method of negotiating, in which the human element is ever present and the dignity of the performer is foremost among the manager's concerns.

		Among Leventhal's credentials: pushing a scruffy 21-year-old Bob Dylan on stage for his first major concert-hall appearance; bringing Jacques Brel and Ravi Shankar to American audiences; and representing, at one time or another, every major figure of the 1950s-and-'60s folk-music revival, including Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary.
		A producer of Alice's Restaurant and other movies, he was the inspiration for the central character of Irving Steinbloom in the 2003 film spoof A Mighty Wind.
