By the time Holly meets his tragic end (leaving behind a nation of fans and a pregnant wife), the film could well be a remake of Night and Day or The Glenn Miller Story. Gittler has even more nostalgic affection for the gloss of "40s movies than...

Stanford Smith, chief executive of International Paper Co. The talks came to nothing. lacocca's role at Ford was reduced still further only a month ago when Ford expanded the office of the chief executive to include his brother William Clay Ford, 53, owner of the Detroit Lions football team.
