...dark, and "snooperscopes," a smaller version with a range of 30 yds. Harris said that IRS men were certain McGarry had a vault in the basement. They finally decided to open it, with or without permission. If they found a large amount of cash in the vault, that might help prove that McGarry was making more money than he claimed. Harris recalled the afternoon they got their chance: "The sun was still out. Mrs. McGarry was sunning herself. We observed her through binoculars." Eventually, Mrs. McGarry left the premises, and the IRS men went into the house. They found...

One reason for the decline in discounts is that men of the cloth are getting more pay and prefer it that way; they would rather have cash in the pants pocket than 10% off on the pants. Moreover, they increasingly find the "clerical discount" demeaning. "I used to use a railroad discount," says the Rev. George Reck, pastor of Houston's Zion Lutheran Church, "but I always felt the conductor was saying to himself, 'Here's another chiseler.'" And chiseling can work two ways, suggests Father George McCormick of Trinity Episcopal Church...
