...Asia House, an elegant office block he built in central Tel Aviv. The corporation has an annual turnover of more than $2.5 billion. United Development does not release such figures but has roughly the same revenues. One of Eisenberg's trade secrets, his associates say, is his extraordinary mind. ''The guy was never in a school of business or anything like that,'' says one ex-staff member. ''He did everything himself. He's exceptionally clever and has an amazing memory.'' Eisenberg speaks fluent German, Japanese, Yiddish and European-inflected English. Eisenberg has also made a point of hiring executives with...
...advised in a back-page headline, WHY ASK HOW? The Blue Jays, with their pristine hitters, are the Series favorites. In Game 1 they looked as dominating as any Apollo Creed, and the Phils looked rocky in an 8-5 loss. But the bad boys of Philly don't mind being the junkyard underdogs.

Wisely, Lanchner has concentrated...
...wrinkles, poses against a drapery covered with arabesques and birds. And then there were the mosaic inventions of the Catalan artist Josep Maria Jujol, who was working for Gaudi when Miro was a teenager, and whose wandering line and isolated words set in tile clearly stayed in Miro's mind when he was doing his poem-pictures. Miro's work thereafter would stay populated with images of specifically Catalan identity. ''Hard at work and full of enthusiasm,'' he reported to a friend from Montroig in 1923. ''Monstrous animals and angelic animals. Trees with eyes and ears All the pictorial problems...
