...brawler whose father is in prison for murder. "Oliver played an incessant barrage of wild music to get you going. The crew would jam the music, then fire shotguns into the air." All the actors felt this electricity, like a searchlight or a cattle prod. "Oliver shot at a feverish pace," Sizemore says, "54 days and no standing around. It was managed chaos...
...action is hardly confined to corporate behemoths. Merger mania has been raging just as strongly among smaller firms such as management consultants, environmental engineers and even funeral homes.

A country lives by its myths, and seldom has there been such an opportunity for an epic to be played out in an international arena as this skate-off between Harding and Kerrigan at the Winter Games. Lately, the public has been denied closure in other morality tales: neither Bobbitt will serve time; California may never be able to cobble together a jury sufficiently unaffected by victim empathy...
