...Four Weddings, he appeared in a string of what he calls "Europuddings"--but Grant is delighted to remind us. "I was always a champagne baron for some reason," he says. "I did Judith Krantz's Till We Meet Again. I was the villainous half-brother Bruno, who rapes Courteney Cox and steals all the family champagne and gives it to the Nazis--fantastic. And there's a very good one based on the Barbara Cartland novel Cupid Rides Pillion. I was the highwayman. When I'm uncomfortable in a role, my voice goes high, so it's quite amusing...

...arms trade. Formerly the Defense Department's export czar, he knows every sinkhole in the regulatory swamp. Ignore him at your peril--as executives of Space Systems/Loral found out. A 700-page report to be issued this week by a select House committee chaired by Republican Representative CHRISTOPHER COX of California tells how, on April 11, 1996, Bryen warned Loral President Robert Berry not to give China any technical help without first getting State Department permission.
