...appears decidedly conventional. Black cowboy boots are the only modest eccentricity in a wardrobe full of dark suits, crisp white shirts and suspenders to match his muted ties. He stands 6 ft. 1 in., and his weight fluctuates by a hundred pounds or more from year to year. His high-tech apartment-cum-office is decorated with a peace poster from the Eugene McCarthy campaign, which introduced him to Clinton, and framed photos of himself with the President and the First Lady...

Before the scheduled opening, a few guests -- including craggy paleontologist Alan Grant, lissome paleobotanist Ellie Sattler and Hammond's two young grandchildren -- come to Jurassic Park for a sneak preview. Then things go spectacularly wrong.

Wait! Time out! There is something wrong with this picture. Nearly everything, in fact. Two decades ago, paleontologists might have signed off on such a scenario, but not today. An avalanche of new evidence -- from fossilized bones, dinosaur nests, eggs and even footprints, analyzed with such high-tech equipment as CAT scans and computers -- has completely transformed scientific thinking about dinosaurs.

And early each morning, he slips on a high-tech headset, plugs the extralong cord into that phone and spends the next 12 hours working his relationships, cajoling, brokering, turning that exhortation into new ways of making money...
