Against a Brick Wall. Kirby, who owns 35% of Alleghany shares, blocked the Murchisons' plans at every turn. Last December, explaining that "I'm tired of hitting my head against a brick wall," John Murchison sold a huge block of the Murchison shares to Minneapolis Merchant Berlin Gamble, 65, who then replaced John as Alleghany president and tried to make peace with Kirby.

...veranda at Churchill Downs. But the Clays have been there for six generations-ever since their ancestors worked as slaves on the plantation of Cassius Marcellus Clay, who was Lincoln's Minister to Russia. They like the name, and they like Louisville, and they have a red brick house with five rooms, all of them on one floor. It's got wall-to-wall carpeting in every room and a picture painted right on the white plaster wall in the living room...
