...prominent local distributor, Hattori. But Gillette blundered by abandoning its local agent after a few years. Japanese retailers viewed Gillette's move as arrogant, and the firm was unable to sell its products on its own. Says Jay Gwynne, president of the consumer health-products division of Warner-Lambert, which owns Schick: "To try to eliminate the Japanese middleman is the quickest way to commit suicide." Schick's single-blade stainless-steel razor was judged superior to Feather's double-blade carbon one, and Schick's razor became the country's best seller...
...famine relief in Africa that he lacks the time and inclination to drag a blade across his jaw. Grab some rays at a tennis tournament and scrutinize the botanical shadow on Bjorn Borg's face. Take a trip down to the local triplex: Mickey Rourke, Timothy Hutton and Christopher Lambert are scruffing up the screen; Mel Gibson, as Mad Max, is atomizing his enemies; Sylvester Stallone and Chuck Norris are rounding up all those POWs and MIAs in Asia.

Then he smiles and remembers the singular instant of Super Bowl X, when, for mocking Roy Gerela's missed field goal, he was body-slammed by Linebacker Jack Lambert. "In Dallas, logical thoughts were ingrained," Harris says, "emotional reactions discouraged. The funny thing is, you know how to play the best when you can no longer play at all. Even watching games now, the emotions of football flow through me, but I'm still in my mind a thinking...
Presiding over this to-hell-with-you hullabaloo is Judge Marie Lambert, a seasoned New York City politician who runs her surrogate's courtroom with a singular feistiness. "Will someone turn the lights on back there?" she hollered one morning last week after taking the bench. "This place looks like a funeral parlor." A joke about funeral parlors during the biggest inheritance case in state history? It may be that for Lambert, a self-proclaimed defender of widows and orphans, this case arraying one against the other is a test of her emotional fortitude. She had frequent run-ins last...
