- <p> Women and Power: You still don't see those two words in
- the same sentence very often, unless it's a sentence like
- "Women and Power: you still don't see those two words in the
- same sentence very often." But if the essence of power is money,
- then at least two women made an awful lot of power this month.
- Professional personality MADONNA and Time Warner announced the
- formation of Maverick, a "multimedia entertainment company" that
- will produce films, TV programming, books, videos -- and the
- next seven Madonna albums. If all Maverick's projects prosper,
- Her Vogueship's new venture could realize $300 million or more.
- Meanwhile, the ABC-TV network revealed that its working-class
- hero Roseanne would be returning for at least two more years in
- a deal whose price tag is said to be in the very ritzy
- neighborhood of $100 million. Since star and co-creator ROSEANNE
- ARNOLD is a partner in the program, it seems that even as she
- slims down, her wallet is fattening up.
