Anger in the Family Biz

Every father knows that he can be the target of anger at any moment from his child. Let's just say that the vast majority of the time it isn't deserved. The daughter is hungry; the son is tired; someone else has been mean to them.

Anger doesn't negate love. And so we remain optimistic that disfavored Nepalese crown prince Paras gets over his pique at papa, dethroned king Gyanendra. The ex-king managed to lose a 239 monarchy and cost the son his place in the family business. Now, since junior can't be Nepal's top dog he is threatening to move his personal circus to Singapore — ignoring his father's plea to stay in the homeland — where at least he can be more prominent fodder for Asia's tabloid culture.

Also having some difficulty in the family business and provoking some ire are two of Korea's Lees, the disgraced Samsung leaders Kun-Hee (father) and Jae-Yong (son). J-Y isn't outwardly outraged at K-H, but he wasn't quite showing the big love when he told a court he knew nothing at all about how his father managed to [almost] give him control over Korea's largest company.

So, at any moment Joe DeVoy may be turned on by beloved 13-year-old daughter Olivia. For now, the two work harmoniously on the tower clock of Vanderburgh County's Old Courthouse, but beware Joe. Like any teen, Olivia may at any moment upset the love that flows like clockwork between father and child.
