...dreaded becoming a prisoner of success, perhaps because it meant he would lose control. "I don't want to attract attention," he said in 1981. "I've always had the fear of being ostentatious of people thinking that these things have gone to my head." He didn't have any experience being a millionaire or a celebrity. He wanted to be free. When reporters came around asking questions about his success, he would reply, "Have I had enormous success? Do you think so?" He hated to talk about it. In 1967, he hotly told a writer, "Life magazine said...

Moscow and Beijing recently vowed to expand their own missile capabilities if Washington proceeds with the missile shield plan, which may make most U.S. allies dig their heels in for fear of reviving the arms race.

While bitter power-sharing negotiations continue between Daschle and majority leader Trent Lott, revenge fantasies focus on Cheney, the tie-breaking Republican vote. The Vice President-elect now has two offices on Capitol Hill, the traditional one on the Senate side and a cubbyhole...
...fear is that the AOL contingent will drive for growth too fast. There are rumors that the music or movie businesses might be sold, although Parsons denies this. And at Time Inc., the publishing division, there is concern that fledgling projects, including magazine start-ups, might be cut because the new regime is so short-term oriented. "The minute there is a case where we're being asked to cut into our core business because some other division didn't make its numbers, there's going to be trouble," says an executive.
