They notice the audience, and, startled, drop to all fours. A searchlight, and a James Bond theme song, come on; the two run, frightened. Then, left to the clothesline again, they show off for one another, primping like a tom and pussycat.

Larger commercial banks profited merrily for years in the city bond trade, both as underwriters and as holders of securities. When trouble surfaced, they quietly dumped the paper. Savings institutions redlined neighborhood after neighborhood, exporting loans to suburbia instead of reinvesting in the city...
...term. A friend of his told TIME that Mitchell had gone on hoping for a presidential pardon until last November, when Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter. Mitchell has some investment income but is no longer allowed to practice law (he once earned $250,000 annually as a municipal bond lawyer), and friends say he is burdened by enormous debts...
