Scene 1: cnn center in Atlanta, a few weeks ago. Ted Turner sits down for another round of negotiations with Time Warner. He exits the meeting, then returns ... dressed in a Confederate uniform. Looking like nothing so much as Robert E. Lee, he brandishes a Civil War sword and tells the execs, "Get the deal done." Scene 2: Time Warner headquarters in New York, last week. Turner mugs for CNN's cameras with his new boss, Gerald Levin. Yep, he joshes. After years of being a big-media chief executive, maybe it's time to slow down and "take things a little easier." Right, say friends and anyone else who knows him. More likely, Turner may one day turn his sword on Levin. Says one: "Ted Turner is not a natural number two."
