I asked my partner, Jeff Berkowitz, at 7:34 a.m., four minutes before going on air for my regular "The Buck Starts Here" segment. "How do I tell them that this bull wants to pull in his horns, even...
...that has already become apparent in roles in such recent films as Beautiful Girls and Everyone Says I Love You. At first, her desire to show Anne as a young and bubbly teenager comes across as a bit overeager: she doesn't sit still for a moment, and her frantic pacing and leg--swinging doesn't seem fully believable.

She forged a unique role for herself, using her luminous presence to focus attention on important...
Soros runs his philanthropy and his business from the same place, a couple of floors of shopworn offices in New York City. On two floors overlooking Central Park, Soros Fund Management operates with the standard mission-control banks of computer terminals, manned by frantic traders looking for profits in the interstices of monetary flows. His best-known division, the Quantum Fund, is a so-called hedge fund that invests for rich clients. (See box.) The company itself has $18 billion in assets under management. It is also a vulture investor, taking positions in distressed companies in anticipation of a turnaround...
