Sons of famous men often stumble when they try to follow in their father's footsteps. That fate has befallen Frederick Wang, 38, son of Wang Laboratories founder An Wang. The younger Wang, who took over as president of the troubled company nearly three years ago, gave up the job last week. He was apparently pushed out by his father, who retains the chairmanship and who told a reporter that he graded his son at "75%." A new president will be recruited from outside...
Davis' sons John, 35, and Gregg, 26, are his business partners. John says his father taught him to do his homework, then "trust your gut." Sometimes the big man means it literally. When Davis spotted a good investment in the Carnegie Deli, the venerable Manhattan restaurant featured in Woody Allen's Broadway Danny Rose, the financier struck a deal to open a Hollywood branch.

Best of all, Davis can now order his favorite pastrami sandwiches at poolside...

Nothing biting today except the horseshoe crab. Agitated, he untangles one from his line and tosses it back. He has few kind words for the crabs; the fact is, he finds inanimate objects more provocative. "Each year, you see ten or 20 articles about the crabs, but you never see any about the sandbars," he bellyaches, pointing to the tidal flats along...
