Imbruglia (the g is silent), 23, is the most efficient pop product to invade these shores since the Spice Girls. Her voice is girlish but with a captivatingly plaintive edge. She is mediagenic in the extreme--resembling a slacker Courtney Cox--with big, imploring eyes and the kind of perfect cheekbones that suggest there may be a career in runway work awaiting if her music ever runs dry. Such looks have made her an instant hit in fashion and music magazines and on TV; Saturday Night Live put her on the air even before her album reached the stores...

...Watergate special prosecutor leaked--top officials have often been the source of some of the very stories they decry. In the winter of 1973, after the first special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, had been fired by Nixon in a confrontation over access to the secret White House tapes, a Texas lawyer named Leon Jaworski took over the case. After he went to Washington, some of the tapes were handed over to the prosecutor's office, and Jaworski listened to them...
...special class of voting shares began carping about its lackluster returns. While the Dow Jones industrial average has soared, Dow Jones' laggard stock has made it the lowest ranked company in the S&P publishing index. That sent Elisabeth ("Lizzie") Goth, 34, and William ("Billy") Cox III, 42, heirs of Clarence Barron, the 300-lb. patriarch who purchased the company in 1902, looking for advice from investment heavyweights such as Warren Buffett. Their conclusion: it's the management. "Finally, someone within the family started to question things," says Cox, who resigned as managing director of Dow Jones Global Indexes earlier...
...winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Kann is considered a brilliant journalist but a less than stellar CEO. While the company has seen 9% annual average revenue growth over the past decade, its 1996 earnings of $190 million are only a shade better than those of 1986, $183 million. While Cox calls Kann a "nice guy," he also says, "Kann is not the person who should be leading the company into the 21st century. He's not a good Ceo." That contrasts with the views of other family members who are on the board and who have publicly supported management. Kann...
