 AOL's Richard Parsons, Alone at the Top - BizReport   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Parsons, 54, is a Republican who caught the eye of the late Nelson A. Rockefeller out of law school, after he nailed the top score on the state bar exam.
Parsons even lived in Rockefeller's compound for a time and became a trustee of his assets after the former vice president's death in 1979.

 Turner's new boss extends olive branch
But Parsons, who is known as the consummate diplomat and reconciler, is now the voice that counts at AOL Time Warner, even if he does not formally take over until May. And that voice wants Turner to renew his contract and remain in the fold.
Parsons was not available to comment, but an AOL Time Warner spokesman confirmed the details.
Nonetheless, Parsons has made a career of smoothing over political and personal differences, and some executives at AOL Time Warner see it as in the company's interest to keep even a disgruntled Turner on their side -- rather than set him free to start a new enterprise that might someday compete against them.
