Corporations look at him and see a take-charge CEO; universities envision a powerhouse chancellor; publishers perceive the author of a best- selling book.

Dale denied she was a prostitute and explained that she helps people with a variety of problems, not all of them sexual.

Lamont, who lives in the Chancellor's official residence, No. 11 Downing Street, has begun proceedings to have Dale evicted on the grounds that she broke a rental agreement by using the home for business.
