Overflow crowds craned for a glimpse of him; the tabloids kept up a colorful commentary, not only on the testimony about loan-sharking, extortion and murder but also on his choice of neckwear and the fluff of his pocket handkerchief. In court he made mocking gestures, blew a kiss at lead prosecutor John Gleeson and growled loudly at U.S. Attorney Andrew Maloney. At one point Judge I.

Spawning Home Alone and The Simpsons loses its savor if the profits you generate go out of Fox's entertainment pocket and into the frayed purse of the newspapers owned by your boss, Rupert Murdoch. Or any company owned by anyone else. At Disney, Diller's friend and former underling Michael Eisner answers only to God and the Bass brothers. Ted Turner, Larry Tisch -- these guys own stuff.
