...betting against Murdoch's global vision because the media magnate controls such an effective power base. News Corp. earned $560 million on $3.5 billion in revenues in 1987. Yet Murdoch can run the huge corporation like a family firm because he and his relatives own half its shares. And that is not going to change anytime soon.

He and Annenberg first talked about a deal over lunch at the Triangle...
...association, he is part of the Establishment that Reagan challenged in 1976 and defeated in 1980.

Galatoire's is a turn-of-the- century set piece with white woodwork, beveled mirrors and brass coat hooks. Waiters are crisply professional; they even chop ice from huge blocks so drinks stay cold and undiluted.
