"Mr. Sam," the man who made drinking whiskey respectable in the United States, built Seagram into the first worldwide liquor empire in the 1950s and 1960s. After Sam's death in 1971, his oldest son Edgar masterminded a major coup when he translated a small investment in oil made by his father into a 25% stake in the mighty DuPont company. But in the 1990s, Edgar allowed his second son, Edgar Jr., to indulge his ambition to become a media tycoon. He reinvested the DuPont stake in Universal, the film and theme-park empire, then bought Polygram Records. But at the same time, he remained in charge of the liquor business, which started to fall apart. Then came the final disaster, when the increasingly divided family sold out to the empire builder of the French conglomerate Vivendi.--From publisher description. 000318441 60030 $$aBronfman family. 000318441 61020 $$aSeagram Company. 000318441 650_0 $$aDistilling industries$$zCanada. 000318441 650_0 $$aBusinesspeople$$zCanada$$vBiography. 000318441 85200 $$bgen$$hHD9390.C22$$iB718$$i2006 000318441 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0701/2006040391-b.html 000318441 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0701/2006040391-s.html 000318441 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:318441$$pGLOBAL_SET 000318441 980__ $$aBIB 000318441 980__ $$aBOOK 000318441 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
