Though he dines at the Palm and wears London-tailored Tasmanian-wool suits (at $1,500 a pop, each is paid for with about three hours of his billed legal time), Cacheris' homelife has always been more prosaic. He and his wife Ethel--they have been married nearly 43 years--frequently revisit his roots on trips to Greece. His father Christos had only a sixth-grade education, and as a teenager Plato flipped burgers at his dad's restaurants. After a stint in the Marines, straight-arrow Cacheris worked as a Justice Department prosecutor helping Attorney General Robert Kennedy target...

Meili was even invited to Los Angeles to meet Steven Spielberg after the director learned that the watchman had been inspired to act by seeing Schindler's List. Meili has traveled to Israel to accept a humanitarian award, to Berlin for interviews with German television and to Auschwitz for a weekend as the guest of survivors. His story was even optioned by a would-be Hollywood dealmaker but, far from profiting, Meili discovered he had signed away his movie rights "without getting a cent...

If I'm desperate for the latest ghetto slang these days, I'm reduced to lurking on the subway near clots of beautifully turned-out white boys who are trying to sound like cool dudes as they chat on their...
General Magic, which was building portable electronic organizers long before the Palm Pilot made them popular, has a new trick up its sleeve. At this week's Networld+Interop show, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based firm, whose clunky gear missed the handheld revolution, will unveil a voice-activated electronic secretary, code-named Serengeti, that lets users dial in from their cell phones and ask to hear phone messages, e-mail, addresses, appointments, stock quotes and news. The service, due this summer, responds to normal speech and will be available from wireless carriers for $20 to $30 a month...
