That is hardly the pace-setting media juggernaut the founders, with their impeccable pedigrees, envisioned. Spielberg is the creative force behind Jaws, Jurassic Park and the new War of the Worlds. Katzenberg was Disney's animation genius. Geffen discovered the Eagles and introduced Guns N' Roses to the world. Together the moguls planned to move beyond movies and music to TV, toys and the Internet...
...miles and 385 yds. from the starting line. The winner of the $30,000 purse and new Mercedes was Australian Rob De Castella, who finished fifth in the 1984 Olympics and had not won a race since 1983. Reading split times scribbled on the back of his hand to pace himself during his first attack on the prestigious course, De Castella, 29, led the crowd of 4,750 runners for all but two miles, finishing at 2:07:51 and breaking the old Boston record by a full minute. The athletes were apparently not the only ones spurred...
Whatever may be amiss, CBS News is doing more of it these days. It has gone all out for fast pace, assertiveness and emotion. Dan Rather has always been the most intense of anchormen, a tightly coiled man; if you want the news delivered low key, go to Brokaw, or to ABC's Peter Jennings, who seems the most reflective of the three.

Away at his quickest pace in May 1983, the invincible-looking pitcher with the pirate-red mustache was dispatching a routine strike to Cal Ripken of Baltimore when Leonard's left knee (his landing leg) imploded and he disappeared. As sport usually calculates these things, this scarcely qualified as tragedy, even when lengthy surgeries and lost summers followed one after the other. Besides the memory of nearly 2,000 honorable if unheralded innings, Leonard...
...standards. Last year more than 3,380 mergers and buyouts worth $1 million or more were completed in the U.S., with a total value in excess of $144 billion. In the first half of 1986 there were 1,639 similar transactions, worth more than $81 billion. But then the pace slowed a bit. In the past three months only 714 deals took place, involving more than $21 billion. Now, however, the merger game definitely seems to be heating up again. Allied Stores, owner of Brooks Brothers and Bonwit Teller, last week announced a $3.56 billion merger with the Edward DeBartolo...
