- <p> IT'S A BIRD. IT'S A PLANE. IT'S MIGHTY MAXWELL. From all the
- huffing and puffing it took to knock down the door, you'd think
- the British publishing magnate was on a rescue mission. But
- Robert Maxwell was only trying to save his ego from the
- prospect of settling in less than spacious surroundings when
- he arrived early one recent morning at the London headquarters
- of his new weekly newspaper, the European. Staffers say he was
- dismayed not to find a king-size office for himself, and used
- a crowbar to break into the better proportioned lair of the
- managing director. When its owner showed up some time later, he
- was stunned to find his chair occupied by his boss. The
- executive lost his turf, but so far has kept his job.
