During late-night negotiations at Karmazin's $11.4 million Trump Tower condo, the two men found common ground. Both were self-made entrepreneurs who prided themselves on rising from modest means to head powerful companies. "Sumner and I have parallel interests," says Karmazin. Says Redstone: "I insisted that Mel come along...
...conversation, Purdy is hardly humorless. In fact, he's downright funny, even absurd. Cherub-faced, with a bowl-shaped haircut unsullied by the professional stylist's scissors, he gives off a dual impression of utter youthfulness and uncanny erudition. He uses the word ontology as naturally as other young men say "dude," but he's quite capable of vivid straight talk.

I did some research and found a survey by Coherent Medical Group that shows that 54% of women find excessive body hair the most bothersome male...
...past decade, Pharmacia & Upjohn isn?t posting the profits it should be. According to Monday?s Wall Street Journal, income from Rogaine is slumping behind that of Merck?s Propecia - the market?s other, more powerful anti-baldness drug. It seems that in the course of wooing balding men, Pharmacia & Upjohn has tripped over its own advertising claims: The Rogaine web site boasts that the product is ?medically proven to regrow hair,? while following pages back away from such strong language, focusing instead on various caveats to be kept in mind by prospective users: Some men may experience only slowed...
