...that scarcely explains how the company declined so swiftly under the gaze of a board that boasted such luminaries as famed stockpicker Peter Lynch and former baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth. The first sign of trouble came last summer when Agee told directors that the company expected to report a loss for the second quarter. "I raised questions about why we hadn't received a preview," Brzezinski recalled last week. His uneasiness grew several months later when "we started getting indications of a fourth-quarter loss that would be larger than anticipated--though nothing like what it finally turned...
...dollar productions rarely find funding without a star's name on the marquee, it is hard to begrudge Broderick the part. To the role of J. Pierrepont Finch, the World Wide Wicket Co.'s window washer turned mailroom clerk turned rising executive, he brings the same quizzical intensity of gaze and naturalness of gesture that carried him to stardom in everything from Neil Simon comedies like Brighton Beach Memoirs to the Civil War epic film Glory.

But then he does nothing so routine as, say, recite sonnets while cartwheeling nude across a stage. Lanier is a virtual-reality performance artist. In his piece, The Sound of One Hand, which has played to packed theaters in Chicago, Toronto and Linz, Austria, he appears onstage framed by the image of a virtual world he enters when he dons special goggles and a DataGlove. His audience sees what he sees -- and what he does, which...
