Sheinberg, a brassy American entrepreneur, wanted to diversify his business, but the conservative Japanese refused. Like Godzilla in hibernation, Matsushita sat in its Osaka cave, occasionally emerging to roar No! "Sid would have bought Virgin Records, he would have bought nbc," says Irving Azoff, MCA's former music boss. "He was really frustrated that the Japanese wouldn't let him do any of that." The brokered marriage was soon looking as vulnerable as Lyle Lovett's to Julia Roberts. And Ovitz, the canny matchmaker, was apparently unwilling or unable to save...
...bronze statue in front of Chicago's United Center came to life Friday night. Before his name was announced, before his signature was lasered onto the floor, the Bulls' new shooting guard, No. 45, Michael Jordan, was greeted by a roar of joy that filled every inch of the new arena and lasted a coincidental 45 seconds. Even the members of the Orlando Magic, the best team in the N.B.A., looked awestruck as Jordan took the floor in Chicago for the first time in almost two years. A crowd of 24,247 and a media contingent of 450 were...
McAnuff has called How to Succeed a "scathing attack on everything." But as satires go, this one is an amiable, toothless lion (although a lion with quite a roar: the music is occasionally amplified to the point of muddle and distortion).

Equipped with a book of maxims, or a new cravat, the Wodehouse hero--like Finch...
...prosperity. The first seems almost irrelevant. Foreign policy probably won't be high on the electorate's radar unless something catastrophic happens, in which case the G.O.P. is likely to benefit more than Clinton. As an issue, the economy is harder to read. The performance numbers will probably roar along, but stagnating incomes will probably continue as well. If so, voters may turn against Clinton because, as he said in 1992, Americans are still "working harder for less...
...roar of the Twenties, the swishy Forties, the Fifties buzzing with the waisty WASP look, the disco beat Seventies and now even the Eighties chirp in with a chorus of "Me, me, me!" My Lord, what a ruckus. All this Retro can give a girl a headache. But before you get nostalgic about the future, remember that every morning you have the potential to broadcast something. No matter which decade you pilfer, you are announcing "I am of the now." You are playing a cosmic game of Whack-a-Mole...
