Steve makes it plain that he doesn't intend to compete with his father, though in some ways he has already surpassed him. As editor of his eponymous magazine, he led Forbes to the top of its class with more advertising pages than any other magazine between 1992 and 1994, thanks to deep discounts and aggressive salesmanship. Under Steve's leadership, the family business, Forbes Inc.--which owns 14 newspapers and 10 magazines plus real estate--has, according to Forbes, been profitable.

...bullshit, their purple underwear, whatever. Do what you have to. It's your day, after all. Just remember that beneath the impassive marble exterior of your T.F., there is a fragile and delicate little creature who wants to be loved, and who has a desperate craving for that plain croissant. We hope, each and every one of us, to bump into you at the Kendall Square Au Bon Pain. And if not, remember: We know...
