...called Jenna Jameson, a friend of Marylin Star's and an actress in such films as Hell on Heels and Smells Like...Sex. She was driving through Scottsdale, Ariz., where she lives and owns a restaurant, Tequila, which she bought with proceeds from her shrewd sale of Disney stock. "Disney sucks this year," she said. "I think a lot of bad things went on with them. They split, and they never went up. They took over a bunch of companies, and it never worked out." I asked her what the next big thing was.

"He makes this new kind of plastic they're going to be using on tennis shoes and tires that doesn't wear out. Once that comes out it will be really cool...
...whose unsettled private life contrasts sharply with his serene contemplation of the universe. He could be alternately warmhearted and cold; a doting father, yet aloof; an understanding, if difficult, mate, but also an egregious flirt. "Deeply and passionately [concerned] with the fate of every stranger," wrote his friend and biographer Philipp Frank, he "immediately withdrew into his shell" when relations became intimate...
