...each end, and filling up the middle with onions. When the suckers howled, he pointed to little chunks of hot dog previously arranged on the ground, said: "You dropped your meat, son, now just move along."

...asked Birder Peterson to do something about the situation, put up $60,000 and now can boast the best bird guide in the Western Hemisphere (but for three years the book can be bought only from the Game and Fish Commission; money must be sent with the order to Austin, Texas-no C.O.D.s).

A month later Cohn borrowed $400,000 from Atlantidi, S.A., a Panamanian moneylender, used it to pay off the Mastan Corp. loan. Last month Cohn borrowed an additional $365,000 from Manhattan's Austin Associates Inc., to buy more Lionel stock and pay off one-third of the Hong Kong loan. Last week Cohn borrowed another $147,000 from Austin Associates, used it to help pay off the remainder of the Hong Kong loan. Despite all this razzle-dazzle, the Cohn group still owes...
