Questions were also raised about the involvement in the E.S.M. failure of Marvin Warner, Home State's owner and a U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland during Jimmy Carter's presidency. Warner, a major investor in the Florida firm and an owner of the Birmingham Stallions of the U.S. Football League, liquidated his own holdings in E.S.M. in January.

Even so, 20 of last week's 67 % Grammys were won by the products of such offbeat labels as Arhoolie, Top Hits, Reunion and Delos. These names represent the recording business's vibrant flip side, a growing industry of as many as 2,000 small...
...time she left home in her late teens, had already starred in her first movie. It was a Super-8 project directed by an eighth-grade classmate in which Madonna had an egg cooked on her tummy. She can currently be seen, under somewhat more professional auspices, in Warner Bros.' Vision Quest; Orion's Desperately Seeking Susan is scheduled for imminent release.
