...Hudson, N.Y., which was designed by the first registered black architect and situated near the estates of John D. Rockefeller and Jay Gould. At a time when unskilled white workers earned about $11 a week, Walker's agents were making $5 to $15 a day, pioneering a system of multilevel marketing that Walker and her associates perfected for the black market. More than any other single businessperson, Walker unveiled the vast economic potential of an African-American economy, even one stifled and suffocating under Jim Crow segregation...
...some modus operandi while trying to knife each other in the back. (The only sitting Republican Senator--not even a majority leader--elected President in this century was Warren Harding. His slogan: "Return to Normalcy.") For the next few months, voters will be able to observe a complex, multilevel game in which Dole and Clinton will be constantly analyzing who is hurt or helped by different legislative strategies. At this point, neither knows what the other is going to do. "I get mixed signals," says Dole. "Some say he really wants to get things done. Others say he could care...
...apogee of excess, however, was a $3 million extravaganza staged in Paris by Thierry Mugler, who took over the Cirque d'Hiver to celebrate his 20th year in the business. A standing-room-only crowd of 1,700 watched as nearly 100 models and dancers cavorted on a multilevel stage.

Mugler is about the only person left who presents corsets and bustiers, but at least he made them sexy...
...bring everyone involved as close as possible to panic but not in itself succumb to breakdown. This is a feat that has always interested George Lucas, who wrote the original story and is the executive producer. As we know from the Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies, he loves multilevel, multicharacter, broadly played popular fiction edited at a pace that flirts with incomprehensibility yet rigorously maintains narrative logic. Radioland, scripted by four writers and directed by Mel Smith, takes place under one roof on one night and puts this style under still greater pressure. Perhaps too much. The adventure form...
Actually, the Clinton plan calls for a vast, multilevel new federal and state bureaucracy with enormous power to regulate all areas of medicine. The Federal Government will decide, for example, which benefits can be offered, * which new technologies and procedures will be made available to Americans, and how many medical students can pursue each specialty. The majority of students will be funneled into primary care; the limited training slots for cardiologists, neurosurgeons and the like will be awarded in part according to racial quotas, based on how "underrepresented" each ethnic group is in a particular field...
