...closer look at their childhoods, their educations--even their Saturday night dates--shows that perhaps the two friends were not such complete opposites after all. The two met in the fifth grade, attended Milton Academy together and shared a suite in Wigglesworth Hall...

The famed appellate attorney is denying rumors that he is no longer on the team of hotel queen Leona Helmsley and saying he continues to work behind the scenes for the Queen of Mean, who is now in prison after being convicted of tax evasion.
