          MARK MCCORMACK's efforts with IMG MUSIC are profiled in
     ATTACHE magazine and Michael Cannell writes, "Nobody has
     done more than McCormack to turn sports into big business.
     Now he is trying to do the same thing for classical music
     and opera.  McCormack has unsettled its purists over the
     last few years by unexpectedly placing himself as a dominant
     agent for singers, musicians, and conductors, and a producer
     of music spectacles staged in unconventional settings"
