...Uncut Diamonds. "We're investment builders, creators, not land speculators," says Tishman. "We buy for a specific purpose: to develop." Tishman covers the whole spectrum of real estate, from buying and building to renting and managing. The company specializes in opening up new areas of cities, is often followed by other firms once it builds. "If you get there first," says Tishman, "you find remarkably little competition. I first trust my instincts to pick the sites, then take a thorough economic survey. If the survey bears out my instincts, we go ahead. If not, I stick with the survey...

Harburg-Harold Arlen score (Over the Rainbow, We're Off to See the Wizard) sounded as fresh and enchanting as ever. To kick off the movie, Buffoon Bert Lahr, who played the craven lion in the film, reminisced to Judy's ten-year-old daughter, Liza Minnelli, about the good old days at MGM. If the movie suffered in its new setting, it was mainly...
