He traces the life of Willis Reed from cotton-picking in Mississippi to knee operations in the NBA; Jerry Lucas from Phi Beta Kappa and stardom to bankruptcy; Earl Monroe from street fighting in Philadelphia to racial harrassment in New York; and Walt Frazier from...
...show you something in a suit, sir?" the investment counselor might say unctuously. "A lawsuit I mean. A really blue-chip group of defendants and prospects for an impressive award of damages." Buying snares in a lawsuit? Why not, asks Manhattan Attorney Carl E. Person, who has reason to believe that he is on his way to creating just such an investment possibility...
