His son was with him, and was as blonde as McCauley Culkin (or whatever that kid's name was) -- that was a little weird.
Lots of famous people had meetings with the chairman, but the only one that caused such a big stir was Michael Jackson.

I don't remember, was that pre- or post- pederasty case?
I'm sure some people here are inured to a celeb in the office (you know who you are), but the funniest similar occassion I've seen was for Liv Ullman. It was about a dozen years ago, she was probably 60 (but still looked great), and I do believe that every male partner did a walk-by the conference room and that the elevator bank had at least 20 balding men in their 50s and 60 looking to exit at the same time she did. Most looking at their shoes. She had a cute daughter, not so glamorous.
Good times!
