...Levin and Case walked around, it was clear each man had his own sense of cyber-age manners. Upon arriving at a door, Case would charge through first. Levin would politely hold the door, not only for the person after him, but for everyone else in the party. It wasn't a gesture of submission. No one would have seen him and said, "Oh, man, Jerry was holding the door for people!" Instead it was the kind of thing Levin seemed to feel would be expected of a Time Warner executive. In Case's world, the polite thing...
...give the man credit for insisting on working only with A-list talent. In the recording studio, SEAN ("PUFFY") COMBS has produced tracks for Madonna, Mariah Carey and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. In the Hamptons, he sips Cristal with Martha Stewart and Calvin Klein. So why should he have anything but the best when it comes to legal representation? In anticipation of a weapons-felony indictment last week, Combs signed up attorneys Benjamin Brafman--who represented Mob turncoat Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano--and JOHNNIE COCHRAN (you may remember his work with a certain former football player).

Well, finally he is, and the brilliant, smoldering Voodoo (Cheeba/Virgin) is due in stores next week. Now you're waiting for the man himself. And waiting. And waiting. You make a mental note: Make some sort of reference in lead of D'Angelo profile to Waiting for Godot. Ten minutes later you make another mental note: Only pretentious journalists who aren't really very well read lead stories off with references to Beckett. Put Beckett reference in second paragraph...
