...Cohn. It is astonishing how recently (that is, during Jay Maloney's teenage years) Cohn was singularly powerful. Indeed, he was the first superagent of the modern age, a forerunner of Maloney's boss Mike Ovitz as a finger-in-every-pie packager who represented the writer and the director and the stars of a given production.

Clinton, by contrast, has embraced decidedly conservative growth estimates (lower, in fact, than most private economists foresee) and has forthrightly admitted that...
Kane says the hospital leadership realized they had a choice between continuing to "fight with each other over a shrinking patient care pie," or trying to cooperate. The fighting would be expensive, and some hospitals might close, she says...
...every Montana family $500 a year and deprive the state of 1,500 jobs. After urging citizens to telephone their disapproval to Montana's Max Baucus, a Democrat on the pivotal Senate Finance Committee, the economist invited his audience to help themselves to turkey, ham, cheese, salads, cake, apple pie...
