...Steve Case, the CEO of America Online, have inked the biggest deal in corporate history. Levin is nibbling on pieces of fruit, sipping room-temperature mineral water and projecting a becoming tranquillity. He looks as if he's just stepped in from Harvard Yard, wrapped in a forest green corduroy jacket with an open-necked plaid shirt tucked underneath.
