In New York there's only air pollution." But to 33-year-old Bachelor Stevenson, who has already dabbled in Wall Street (Lazard Freres), educational films, Caribbean real estate, and an unsuccessful antique-car rental service, Cheetah is "an investment that I know will be a success." To reporters he elaborated: "I'm not a nightclub man, and the music drives...
