...family, it's his lack of control that starts a costly gang war that ends in his death. Caan's part is different than the other thugs he's played: he animates his body with a high-strung rage barely controlled. When he lets go, dragging a piggish brother-in-law through the streets and bashing his body with a garbage can, the effect is exhilarating...
Died. Baron Sieff of Brimpton, 82, British retail magnate and international Zionist leader; in London. Marks & Spencer was scarcely more than a chain of penny bazaars in 1915 when Israel Moses Sieff joined Simon Marks, his brother-in-law and son of the company's founder, on the board of directors.

The names and anecdotes...

Then one morning last winter Gaye showed up with the idea for What's Going On. Beyond its $2,000,000 worth of straight sales, the album also produced three hit singles with combined sales of 4,000,000 copies-the title song, Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology) and Inner City Blues. Such selling power obviously means that a lot of people are willing to tag along behind Marvin...
