...that were not enough, a high-level corporate struggle may be brewing. Laurence A. Tisch, who cofounded the Loews Corp. with his brother Preston and emerged last year as a white knight to protect CBS against further takeover attempts, has assumed a more threatening visage. Tisch began buying CBS stock last summer and in October got Government permission to increase Loews' holdings to as much as 25% of CBS's voting stock.

...First I like to do things I like, and second, I like to make money, which I like." So says Albert Roux, who with Brother Michel owns several celebrated restaurants, including Le Gavroche in London and the Waterside Inn in nearby Bray.

Tisch's mandate at the Postal Service will be to cut costs without alienating labor or losing an edge to increasingly competitive and technologically innovative private industry. Not an easy task, never mind snow, rain, heat or gloom of night...
...more I'm with an object -- whether it's a model or a piece of the country -- the more I begin to see what I've been blind to. You start to get what's beneath it. You see deeper within it." He used Christina and her younger brother Alvaro as subjects from 1940 to 1968; Anna and Karl Kuerner, Wyeth's neighbors in Chadds Ford, from 1948 to 1979; teenage Siri Erickson, another Cushing resident, from 1967 to 1972. The paintings of her were also withheld, until she turned 21, and their release in 1975 caused a little...
