...Indeed, Seed in recent years appears to have suffered some financial reversals. Until last summer he and his third wife Gloria lived in a two-story Victorian house in Oak Park. But the bank foreclosed on their $341,000 mortgage, and they were forced to move to a modest bungalow in nearby Riverside. "I had a beautiful house," sighs Seed. "It's very difficult to make money but extremely easy to lose it. I lost a couple of million dollars...
...seemed like the plot of a very bad movie, but it wasn't, and before it was over Chris Foote and Spring Wright were dead. Five intruders in ski masks, two with body armor, stormed a three-bedroom bungalow in the Maryvale area of Phoenix, Ariz., at 4 a.m. one day last week, using a sledgehammer to bludgeon their way into the house. In one bedroom they found Louisa Sharrah and proceeded to bind her arms with plastic cuffs and strike her with a metal flashlight. The men woke her young children and held them at gunpoint as they screamed...
Carsey, 51, and Werner, 46, are the most unassuming moguls in Hollywood.

It was just a little two-bedroom deal, and he worked there until a few months ago, when he moved to grander surroundings closer to the ocean. He cites the need for space, not success, as the reason, and is almost apologetic about the splendor of the present arrangement. Compared with the old office, this new place has majestic scale; there are university presidents with smaller offices than one of the bathrooms in this house. "It doesn't have a Hollywood...
That hopeful scenario is far from being a done deal, however. The government made no public statement about the ending of Suu Kyi's house arrest. Nor is it clear that she is truly free to say or do what she wishes. Inside the bungalow at 52 University Road last week, SLORC intelligence officers in plain clothes mingled with the visiting oppositionists, diplomats and journalists who gathered. Many of her supporters suspect that the generals are merely trying to woo foreign governments, investors and such institutions as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund by making a single concession...
