...takes home $350 a week...[He] lives sometimes with his girl friend Karen Darvin, 20, a freckled, leggy model from Texas, in a small apartment on Manhattan's East Side. More frequently, he is down on the Jersey shore, where he has just moved into more comfortable--but not lavish--quarters, and bought his first decent hi-fi rig. He remains adamantly indifferent to clothing and personal adornment, although he wears a small gold cross around his neck--a vestigial remnant of Catholicism--and, probably to challenge it, a small gold ring in his left ear, which gives...
...Meyer could never have felt snug in the lavish, high-overhead, take-six-meetings-and-never-make-a-movie atmosphere of the big studios. After one more Fox film ("The Seven Minutes"), he escaped back to indie filmmaking with a meager, loyal crew and the freedom to do whatever he wanted. And what he wanted was sex.

Investors and consumers alike have gotten the message...
...prepare to see an Administration in motion. The President will hold a lavish ceremony this week to sign the corporate-responsibility bill. O'Neill, Evans and others will attend a series of events promoting good news about the economy. To ward off charges that Bush is lounging on his ranch while the economy burns, he will make trips into the "heartland" to meet with anxious Americans. Topping it off, he will host a day-long economic forum in Waco, Texas...
