The Richfield crash dazed him, ruined his health. Friends fondly predicted he would soon stage a remarkable comeback. But last week they admitted that any comeback will be contingent upon his manner...
...financial paper. But who are the bears? Who are the men who have (so rightly) believed that stocks would go down and who have consequently sold short and sold again?
