The intensity of Snyder's verbal assaults would surprise even him--but surprise did not stop him. Snyder met his match in the equally fearsome Martin Davis, who became CEO of Simon & Schuster's parent company, Gulf + Western. Meanwhile in the Bronx, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner was taking delight in firing people. He is so paradigmatic of impetuous power (throwing tantrums, bad-mouthing employees in the press, hiring...
