...worked with Lyricists Don Black and Charles Hart on his next musical, Aspects of Love, studied portfolios of photos in search of a female lead for Phantom's April production in Japan, and kept a watchful eye on the Broadway incarnation, which started previews on Saturday. "He monitors every word and orchestrates every aspect of the production," says Black. "He is good at casting, costumes, orchestration, design, marketing. Nothing slips through the net."

...little child shall lead them. Hollywood got happier as viewers adopted the movie and word of mouth kept Baby booming. Even at Christmas, after a month's exposure, 3 Men easily led the box-office pack. By early this month it will have clambered up the Top Ten list to become 1987's fourth biggest hit.
