Johnson's brazen attempt at highway robbery attracted the attention of Henry Kravis, the pixieish juggernaut from KKR, the New York City firm that had written the book on leveraged buyouts. Kravis, who months earlier had met with Johnson and discussed the possibility of taking RJR Nabisco private, was furious at Johnson for his double-dealing. With his cousin, and KKR partner, George Roberts, Kravis submitted a blow-them-out-of-the-water bid of $90 a share...

I believe the guy will try to do something about this. I sure hope...
...designers like Donna Karan and Calvin Klein to Roseanne Barr (who wants to market a line of large-size women's clothing). They would join such current QVC pitchpeople as Diane Von Furstenberg, a close friend of Diller's, and Joan Rivers, a famous enemy. (Rivers was publicly furious at Diller for canceling her late-night talk show on Fox in 1987. The two have since made up. When Diller called her in London to tell her that he had bought QVC, his first words after breaking the news were, "Are you laughing...
