He charts his directorship of Dupont and other companies in which the Bronfmans held an important interest and reveals the inner workings of mega deals, including the Bronfman acquisition of MGM in the 1960s. The memoir also offers a sobering look at Edgar Bronfman Jr's disasterous decision to sell Seagram's 25 percent interest in DuPont in order to buy MCA-Universal Studios, a deal that Kolber strongly opposed and which signalled the dissolution of a great business empire. 606 $aDirectors of corporations$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aBusinessmen$zCanada$vBiography 615 0$aDirectors of corporations 615 0$aBusinessmen 676 $a328.71/092 700 $aKolber$b Leo$01485881 701 $aMacDonald$b L.
