...That is the mission of a coterie of corporate-identity consultants who create names for new companies and products. Anspach Grossman Portugal, a New York City consulting firm, oversaw Libbey-Owens-Ford's metamorphosis into Trinova, and suggested Consolidated Foods adopt the tastier name of Sara Lee Corp. Siegel & Gale, another New York company, persuaded United States Steel to transform itself into USX. San Francisco-based NameLab christened Nissan's Sentra car and Honda's luxury Acura model...
...that many kids will want to buy this duck. The movie is too scuzzy to beguile children, too infantile to appeal to adults. Its humor is sub-Mad: Howard (played by Actor Ed Gale, and some other small people, in a duck suit, with Chip Zien providing the voice) is a master of "quack fu" who reads Rolling Egg and DQ magazines. He grows angry: "No more Mr. Nice Duck." He waxes philosophic: "No duck is an island." When the filmmakers grow tired of fowl puns -- about an hour after the audience does -- they switch to space opera, and Howard...

It was their passion for the project, very much the result of adolescent years spent watching movies and reading science fiction, that rescued Aliens from being one of those tempting ideas that Hollywood loves to lunch over and hates to launch...
...When he insisted on a laser scanner for the picture's first sequence, she made him pay for it himself. All her grit was needed to cope with ten months of Aliens production in unenlightened England. "The British view of female producers proved to be a big problem for Gale," says her husband. "They didn't know such a creature existed. She was like a unicorn . . ." "Except that they like unicorns," she cuts...
