...child in a plastic bubble. He knows it too. "I don't have a life, so there's nothing for you to interfere with," he genially tells Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), a journalist planning a story on his research into teleportation. She gives him a life -- hers -- and their tender affair seems to vitalize him. His experiments proceed triumphantly: a woman's stocking, a steak, a baboon, all shazammed from one telepod machine to another. He proves to be an ardent lover, with amazing powers of recuperation. He impulsively performs gymnastic arabesques worthy of Kurt Thomas...
...just one deal in 1984, Wilkis bought 20,000 shares of retailer Carter Hawley Hale because he knew that it would receive a takeover bid from Limited Inc. Since the stock's value spurted as a result of the tender offer, he cleared a $95,000 profit. Levine bought 33,000 shares of Carter Hawley Hale and made $222,000.

Fields, Beresford and the rest have come to North Carolina for the filming...

After telling his sister of his new-found desire and enviously touching her breasts in a surprisingly tender and unsexual scene, Edward proclaims, "I want to be a lesbian...
...other firms, including General Dynamics and AT&T, about topping Burroughs' offer in a friendly merger deal. Since none of those discussions panned out, Sperry was vulnerable when Blumenthal came back with a $70-a-share bid last month. After Sperry balked again, Burroughs said it would make a tender offer directly to shareholders. Finally Blumenthal made Sperry an offer almost impossible to refuse: $76.50 a share. At a rancorous meeting last week, Sperry's board accepted the offer. President Joseph Kroger led the opposition to the merger and did not appear at the press conference, but he is expected...
