...gone quickly," insists a Pixar insider. Jobs, knowing other studios would jump at a chance to get in business with Pixar (Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox are considered front runners), finally had enough.

...France's most imperious and cerebral politicians - and as Jacques Chirac's loyal confidant and anointed successor as President of the Republic. After he tried to force through a raft of unpopular reforms as Prime Minister, Juppé's disdain for public opinion contributed to his humiliating ouster in 1997.

When I met him a few weeks before he died, Blas, 76, was short of step but lucid and humorous?and he never forgot to light a fresh cigarette directly after the previous one expired. He recalled the 1986 phone call in which he told Marcos the Reagan Administration's support was collapsing. "Blas," Marcos bellowed. "You know the Soviets. Can you give...
