But in recent weeks they have also come to know him as one of the three ordained clergymen who make up a much-ballyhooed singing trio called the Priests, which recently signed a $2 million recording contract with music giant Sony BMG. O'Hagan, 48, sees no contradiction. "I have two arms - the ecclesiastical arm and the musical arm," he says after Mass. "If one is tied behind the back, I'm not functioning at my fullest potential...
...brother Martin O'Hagan, 45, and their childhood friend David Delargy, 44 - the path to stardom seems ordained from above.

Later he would denigrate rock, even though, in his ability to inspire mass mania, he had been a prototypical rock star. He always seemed uneasy at being pigeonholed, and made a point of emphasizing his classical bona fides...
...three authors of this smart analysis about the latest developments in global competition: "One day, it may be your company that Tata Group wants to acquire, your child calling home from Shanghai, your job moving to Mexico City and your brand-new Changfeng gleaming in the driveway." The trio urges U.S. companies to fight back by creating low-cost, high-quality and ingenious products and by reaching deep into big markets.
