Kane found himself taking notes while chatting at the water fountain in the Tiger dugout, while chasing his man through hotel lobbies, in between sessions at a television studio and on the warm-up mound in the stadium bullpen...

Fresh Approach. Businessmen have discovered that leisure-market acquisitions can be every bit as profitable as companies in glamour industries. Jensen Marine, a fast-growing West Coast boatbuilder bought nearly two years ago by Bangor Punta, a Maine conglomerate, last year earned its new owner profits far in excess of the industry average (4% after taxes) on its $6,000,000 in sales...
