Born in Tulsa, Okla., in 1918, and on the air there at age 17, Paul Harvey Aurandt settled in Chicago after stints at several Midwest stations, including one in St. Louis, Mo., where he found a lifelong partner, his wife Lynne. His show, News and Comment, began on ABC radio in 1951 and eventually had a weekly audience of 12 million. In 2000, ABC reupped Harvey with a 10-year, $100 million contract...

Seven years later, Saint Laurent and his then companion and lifelong business partner Pierre Bergé would buy the first of three Mondrian paintings as they began building one of the great art collections of modern times. On Feb. 23-25, eight months after Saint Laurent's death at age 71, Christie's will sell off the pair's entire collection...
