Though he refers to his corporate conglomerate as "my cottage industry," Paradine,* Ltd. (the name, not incidentally, almost rhymes with paradigm) grosses an estimated $20 million a year. In addition to the $1 million he expects to garner from his Nixon interviews, he hopes to get a few farthings from his glossy Cinderella movie musical, The Slipper and the Rose; an eight-part TV series, Crossroads of Civilization, which is being shot on a $2.5 million budget in Iran...
