...some ways CEO purgatory has been a familiar place for Prince, a quiet lifetime sidekick who once postponed his kidney surgery to help Weill close a deal. He has always been on hand when Weill is taking a bow. But he is the man on whom Weill has relied consistently in the crunch. "I've seen Sandy turn to Chuck over and over again," says a banker who has worked with both men. And Prince's willingness to recognize the good work of others and even let them take credit endears him to many...
...suicidal friend Donelly, asked if he might possibly be an alcoholic, replies "I should hope so, after all the time, money and effort I've put into it."

Canine sidekick Milo, very much at home in Hare’s office, stretches out on the floor. He’s there not just for companionship but as a professional muse as well. Hare recently published a study on dog cognition that was lauded in CNN and openly mocked by Susan Orlean (of Orchid Thief fame) in The New Yorker...
...like its predecessor Shanghai Noon, is a western, the U.S. equivalent of the Qing dynasty martial-arts films that made Chan famous back home. Wilson's Roy O'Bannion is the self-legendizing cowboy, and Chan's Chon Wang (sounds like John Wayne) is essentially Roy's stern Indian sidekick. That's apt, since, when he's not smiling, Jackie's face has the weathered severity of a Cherokee scout...
