...says David Lisbona, Eisenberg's personal assistant in Israel, ''is his work. He enjoys bringing these things together -- which is why he is still doing it. He doesn't need the money.'' Even if he does not watch movies himself, the Eisenberg story could easily inspire one. It would tell the tale of a penniless German Jew who lands in Japan during World War II, goes into business, builds a trading empire in Asia and becomes one of the world's richest men. In 1938, when Eisenberg was 17, his parents, two brothers and a sister left their home...
...sharply affected the performance of U.S. financial markets on the day of their release, were leaked to Wall Street traders twice last year. The results of the inquest were severely disquieting.

''What do we tell families,'' he asked, ''that they have to go on the Phil Donahue show?'' At week's end there were happy endings in both Loma Linda and Louisville. Jesse's new heart was beating normally, and he was taken off a respirator. Baby Calvin had meanwhile found a donor, and was in stable...
...grandly imagined, romantic portrayal that sailed out over the footlights. She is married to Konstantin Zaklinsky, one of the Kirov's leading male dancers and its handsomest. She likes to dance with him, cook for him, anything but rehearse with him. ''We are both very critical, and we tell each other the truth.'' Offstage, she shows little of the fire that ignites her performances, but perhaps she does not need to.
