Silverman, 60, who describes himself as a political "independent," is a senior partner with the corporate law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson. (Another partner: Sargent Shriver, Senator Edward Kennedy's brother-in-law, and Democratic vice-presidential candidate in 1972.)

A group of angry Canso shareholders in 1980 seized control of Canso in a proxy fight.

After a hearty Fenwick dinner of meat, fresh vegetables and a homemade pie, the company may retire to her brother-in-law's house to watch one of Hepburn's old films. The star herself is not unduly impressed: "I don't feel any particular connection with that poor creature up on the screen. I'd rather watch the home movies my father took of us as children...
