Already Bronfman has earned the title of mischiefmaker. His sorties are tilting the fortunes of several prominent companies-not just Matsushita, MCA and his own but also Du Pont, Time Warner and infant multimedia outfit DreamWorks SKG.

In a 1992 issue of the L.D.I. publication, Firestorm: A Guerrilla Strategy for Pro-Life America, Crutcher advocated using such suits not just...
...party, a civilized affair in a garden courtyard, was well attended by graduating high school girls. Keanu's sister was among them, and He had been invited by her. About fifteen minutes after I arrived, Keanu strode into the courtyard, sporting an air of nonchalance, a Hollywood-chic black outfit, and a seemingly genuine enjoyment of His particular situation on this festive day. I caught sight of the stares from girls to their friends that screamed, "HE'S HERE OMIGOD HE'S GORGEOUS!" just as I saw Him for the first time, almost face to face. I nodded to acknowledge...
