Soon after Jacques Chirac, the mayor of Paris, arrives in his office in the French capital tomorrow, he will receive an overseas call via two-way telecommunications satellite. The call, which will come in at about 2 p.m. Paris time, will originate from the lobby of the Seagram Building in New York City. On the other end of the line will be Edgar Bronfman Jr., who is the president and chief operating officer of Joseph E. Seagram's & Sons, Inc. Edgar Jr., of course, is the son of Montreal-born Edgar M. Bronfman, the chairman of the far-flung Seagram's empire.
