...ultimate public display of private drama came, of course, on Tuesday afternoon, the day after Clinton's testimony and speech, when husband, wife and daughter, hand in hand in hand, did their "it's nobody's business but our own" walk across the endless South Lawn to a helicopter waiting to swoop them off to Martha's Vineyard for family therapy. Hillary wore blue, with dark glasses. Her eyes never met the camera. The President smiled slightly. Had the family temperature at that moment seemed too warm, it would have been dismissed as phony; too cold, and it would have...
...become a cocoon. I try to sleep but am kept in a semiwaking state by our guides talking softly in Sranan Tongo, a lingua franca mixture of English, Dutch, Portuguese and West African languages, and by the chirping of frogs and birds. Insects make a sound like an endless marimba. There are showers of natural debris--rodents tossing away shells and bits of fruit. I am certain that I hear an animal poking around under my head. Mittermeier confesses that even after all his years of experience, he has never become accustomed to the night sounds...
Former Hertz spokesman O.J. SIMPSON has demonstrated a remarkable ineptitude at shaping his public image. First there was that unpleasant murder trial, followed by a string of bizarre interviews and an endless series of golf outings when he was supposed to be searching for ex-wife Nicole's killer.

To that end, the firm published an endless stream of reports, magazines, pamphlets--11 million pieces in 1955 alone--with titles like How to Invest. Under Merrill the firm gave seminars across the country, with child care provided so that both husband and wife could attend. It set up tents in county fairs. It ran a brokerage...
Looking back, one can see that Rozelle's career was built on his talent for 1) persuading rich men who were unfamiliar with not having everything they wanted to take less than they deserved and 2) preventing full-scale revolt the minute the stakes became high. The subsequent endless pressures on Rozelle are familiar to anyone who has ever built a successful cartel--and cartels by and large fail. A member is more inclined to cheat the group the more successfully the group drives up his price. When Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys cut a side deal with Pepsi...
