There was, in the end, one more bond among Bush supporters--they can't stand Bill Clinton. "We've had a fox--now it's time for a lion," is how Lou Price put it. It remains to be seen if Bush swung so far right--last week he said he doesn't believe an openly gay person would share his philosophy--that he won South Carolina at the cost of losing other states. It's a long walk to the White House, and even a lion could end up as roadkill...
That means profitable opportunities to turn plays--especially the kind of blockbuster musicals Lloyd Webber writes--into movies and also, as Disney's The Lion King demonstrates, to turn highly promoted films into money-spinning plays. Lloyd Webber's new real estate includes the London Palladium and the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, famous large venues ideal for launching plays with transatlantic appeal that could morph into movies or television. Nor is Lloyd Webber's empire building likely to stop here. He and his partners are looking to buy up other major theaters in Europe...
Four players in double figures led a balanced Crimson offense against a smaller, outsized Lion defense.

In 1998, for instance, about 2 million small cars were sold, a minimally profitable 14% of the total. "The baby boomers are still the lion's share of the market," says Marty Levine, DaimlerChrysler's vice president of Chrysler Plymouth Jeep. That's precisely why DaimlerChrysler has been careful not to refer publicly to its new PT Cruiser--which is built on a small-car chassis and whose voluptuous curves are reminiscent of the cars of the '30s--as a youth attraction...
...record suggests that its ambitions are no small beer. Since its beginnings more than a century ago in Johannesburg's gold-mining camps, SAB has established a near monopoly in its vast--and thirsty--home market. Popular brands like Castle and Lion are nursed in bars and at barbecues across South Africa. SAB's 98% domestic-market share has funded the company's expansion into 20 countries across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. In 1998, foreign operations made up 45% of the company's $3 billion in worldwide beer sales. SAB is looking to expand further in Africa and Asia...
