	He Likes Challenges. But Time Warner? - New York Times
		Wasserstein, who grew up in Brooklyn with three sisters, including Wendy Wasserstein, the playwright, has been doing mental gymnastics, turning around a multitude of permutations in his mind, plotting his designs on the world, since he was a small child.
		Wasserstein loves to question the conventional wisdom, what he calls "questioning the premises." It was something he picked up at Harvard Law School and while working for the consumer activist Ralph Nader in the early 1970's.
		Wasserstein claimed credit - and was paid - for advising Time Warner on its merger with AOL in 2000, when he was still at Wasserstein Perella, the boutique investment bank he founded with Joseph R. Perella before the two had a falling-out.

	Wasserstein
		Wendy Wasserstein was the recipient of "The William Inge Award for Distinguished Achievement in the American Theatre" during a special program of tribute on the stage of the William Inge Theatre on Saturday, April 17, 1993.
		But Wasserstein, 39 and a bachelor girl herself, hasn't forgotten that urge to be ''normal.'' Her plays feature characters like herself, women struggling toward self-definition amid ever-changing societal imperatives: to be a wife and mother; to have a lucrative profession; to do it all and look as good as Meryl Streep.
		In 1988 Bruce Wasserstein was an architect of the $25 billion RJR-Nabisco merger that capped the buccaneering, let's-make-a-deal capitalism of the Reagan era.(6) No wonder his sister's characters, who have attended the best schools and have inherited the comforts of young urban professionals, come out ahead of the progeny of the Bergers and the Lomans.
