Sober again (and sober still), he made more money, but, as his wife Joyce observes, "Bob and money don't get along. One time we had a Cadillac and an airplane, but I didn't have a cup that matched a saucer...
...Captain steers his sleek black '83 Cadillac into the neighborhood known as Alphabet Town on Manhattan's Lower East Side. This menacing tangle of burned-out buildings, clammy tenements and garbage-strewn vacant lots is one of the country's most notorious drug marketplaces. Dealers crowd the blighted 15-by four-block "town" 24 hours a day, dispensing cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, angel dust and an array of other drugs. The Captain, in his 40s, is a white, affluent tradesman from Brooklyn. He got his nickname because he once owned a yacht. He and his girlfriend, a pink...

Avis has countered with such prizes as color TVs, cruises on the Queen Elizabeth II and free tickets on TWA flights worldwide...
...defendant was a dour ex-CIA agent with dark, glowering eyes and a tight-lipped G. Gordon Liddy demeanor. The other was a jovial Englishman who smokes Cuban cigars, drives a $60,000 custom-made Cadillac convertible and cracks jokes about himself as a "good ole boy" who "drills a little oil and raises a little beef on his 2,000-acre ranch near Dallas. Their personalities may differ, but the two millionaires have much in common. Both Edwin Wilson and Ian Smalley were on trial in Texas, in unrelated but remarkably comparable cases, charged with masterminding elaborate arms-smuggling...
