Total flexibility may not be for everyone. For instance, Best Buy's legal department so far has resisted the new way of working, partly because the in-house attorneys are worried that it will reduce their pay, says one of them, Jane Kirshbaum, 40. Best Buy's lawyers are compensated in part based on how well they serve their clients--other departments that have legal issues--and they are not connected to any revenue-generating part of the business. Kirshbaum wonders if they will be criticized as unresponsive if they take off one afternoon. She admires the freedom the employees...
...have bombed, and Lewinsky may spill most of her beans in public. On the high side, publisher JUDITH REGAN estimates that Monica's story is worth "maybe as much as a million," while ROBERT GOTTLIEB of the William Morris Agency puts the number in the low six figures. LARRY KIRSHBAUM of Time Warner Trade Publishing is closefisted, saying, "I think we're all bimboed out." The supermarket tabloids are similarly split.

"If you're going to publish Kitty Kelley, you've got to just do it," says Laurence Kirshbaum, CEO of Warner Books, which has released Kelley's The Royals (547 pages; $27) to even more controversy than was no doubt hoped for when the book was signed. Kelley is the famously prying celebrity biographer whose works include His Way: The Unauthorized Biography of Frank Sinatra, which alleged that...
...citing interest from booksellers, has plunged ahead, rushing The Royals into stores last week--six days early--with no apologies and a jacked-up press run of some 600,000 copies. "Just because the book is unflattering doesn't mean it has no right to be out there," insists Kirshbaum. "This book offers a unique journalistic perspective on some of the most important events of the 20th century...
