...Impact. Belli adds to such devices a superb sense of dramatic timing. In one of his most famous cases, he represented an attractive young woman who had lost her right leg. As the trial opened, Belli brought to the counsel table a large, L-shaped package, ominously wrapped in butcher's paper. For days, he shifted the bundle absentmindedly as he addressed the jury, but made no reference to it. Finally, he unwrapped the package slowly as the jury watched in horrified fascination. If the artificial leg he revealed was an anticlimax, Belli immediately rebuilt the tension: he dropped...
Tony DeAngelis, a onetime butcher, made himself a wealthy man by steering his New Jersey-based Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining Corp. in and out of quick trades in the risky commodities futures market. Then DeAngelis thought he saw another chance for a fast fortune in soybean and cotton-seed-oil futures. If the Soviet bloc wheat crop failed, he reasoned, other farm products, including vegetable oils, must have suffered as well; and as soon as the Red nations had signed their wheat purchase contracts in the U.S., they would be back bidding on oils and other U.S. produce.

At last, the butchers relented, but their reopened shops had only a few days' beef supply and the threat to Paris kitchens remained. Cried Charles Leonard, chairman of the Paris butchers' syndicate: "We are no longer under the Occupation. The Germans have left. Butchers, I am proud...
Hungry Mind. But far from fading away under these tribulations, Keats fought on ferociously. Though he was only 5 ft. tall, he was strong-he once whipped a butcher boy twice his size because the boy had been tormenting a kitten. Keats was, in fact, an extraordinarily tough-minded fellow, full of energy and passion, who used poetry not as an escape from life but as a way of laying hands on it. His story, revealed not only in his poetry but in perceptive and engaging letters, is a remarkable record of an extraordinarily hungry and ambitious mind feeding...
