Though Gregory is a master of bitter hyperbole, there was no exaggeration in his description as far as one Wharlest Jackson, 36, was concerned last week. Jackson had the sort of background designed to infuriate Natchez-style moderates, not to mention extremists.

Pearl Harbor Day. For Levin, 58, a millionaire New Jersey real estate developer who holds an 11% block of MGM stock (current value: $20 million), it was the second bitter proxy fight against the film company in less than a year. Increasingly critical of management on many matters since his election to the MGM board in 1965, Levin last May forced a stockholders' vote in an unsuccessful effort to block a proposed authorization of additional stock...
