...those who haven't consumed a steaming-hot H & H bagel at three o'clock on a Sunday morning, it may be difficult to understand what all the fuss is about. But just as the art expert will never be able to convey to the color-blind woman at the Picasso exhibit what she's missing, the bagel-lover will have a hard time converting the uninitiated.

When Sternlicht was snapping up smaller companies, heavyweights like Bollenbach took note but didn't fuss. Now that Sternlicht is going after bigger quarry, he's on Bollenbach's radar, and the fuss has just begun. The Hilton boss has been lobbying against the paired-share structure. By opting to go after a big name like ITT, Sternlicht has created a personal Catch-22. If the scrutiny...
