...line--a novel pre-slaughter activity back then, but now compulsory in the U.S. and Canada. We found two cows, each containing seven embryos--obviously not ours. These cows were then removed to the bmf, the Bovine Midwifing Facility. Only full gestation would reveal the tots' genetic identity. Software mogul? Pop-song diva? Corporation head? Somewhat like waiting for Polaroids to develop over a period of years...
...again. During his trip last week to the Los Angeles meeting of the big-spending afl-cio, where he promised new rules requiring all businesses that contract with the Federal Government to meet fair-labor standards, Gore made time for private chats with two significant Democratic Party supporters: supermarket mogul Ronald Burkle and real estate investor Stanley Hirsh. "It's breathtaking how fast and aggressively he's moving," says a Democratic stalwart.

Seems Meyer had unwarily confided in Ovitz that he absolutely coveted the property...
Your basic movie-mogul breakfast menu would include strawberries, decaf, a splash of Evian, maybe a Diet Coke. But Harvey Weinstein has never got with fit-for-life cuisine. One morning at the recent Sundance Film Festival, the co-chairman of Miramax Films eagerly devoured a greasy omelette (the secret ingredient: cholesterol) while schmoozing with a reporter about art, movies and life in general. It's been said that a family of four could subsist for a month on the crumbs that stick to Weinstein's shirt. That family may soon need to find other means of dietary support...
...written a spectacular book, rescuing the art of autobiography from years of celebrity abuse. Graham produced her book the old-fashioned way: she wrote it herself. In describing the pain of being the ugly duckling among the beautiful people, and the struggle to transform herself from "doormat" to corporate mogul after her husband's suicide, Graham has mapped the heartache of being flawed and human and female. With the help of Gloria Steinem she came to see that the thousand small slights she endured were not singular to her but common to her gender. When she set out to write...
