...heart of that temple of knowledge lies the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Room: paradise for yours truly. The walls are made of books--leather bound, glass-encased and reaching to the ceiling. And a giant portrait of the almost-tragic millionaire watches over the Oriental rug and the mahogany paneling with goofy dead eyes...
With the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Clean Air and Water Acts in 1972, giant corporate polluters knew the American public would no longer tolerate direct pollution anymore. Since then, they have changed their style--but not their substance.

On a recent morning, Stamper gushed like a new father as he watched dozens of passengers milling about Pro Air's hub, the motley...
Think Hollywood is too corporate these days? It's just getting started. Last week publicity powerhouse PMK (which handles names like CRUISE, PFEIFFER, HANKS and DAMON) finally consented to marry McCann-Erickson (clients include GM, MasterCard and Coca-Cola). The New York ad giant was not so much interested in PMK's tidy profit margin--"We're just chump change to them," says LESLEE DART, one of PMK's three partners -as in its vast warehouse of stars.
