...placed it in his safe (the same safe from which $235,000 was later disbursed to G. Gordon Liddy, a convicted Watergate wiretapper). Vesco also gave $50,000 by check, which was publicly reported. Later that very day, Mitchell arranged a meeting for Sears with Casey and G. Bradford Cook, who was then SEC general counsel and recently succeeded Casey as the commission's chairman. The express purpose was to discuss the commission's investigation of Vesco's company. Stans never reported the $200,000 donation to the General Accounting Office as he was required...

In the course of its investigations of Vesco the SEC began looking into why he had made the big withdrawal from the Bahamian bank.

Each is instructive in its own way. The first to be released...
Manhattan's Bun & Burger chain has removed sliced onions from its lunch counters, keeping instead an emergency supply of chopped onions hidden away and given only to those customers "who insist they cannot eat a hamburger without them." Customers have generally been cooperative because, as one short-order cook put it, "they are not buying onions for their homes either." At Manhattan's Soup Burg, they claim that the cost of raw onion per hamburger is up to 70 or 80. "It's getting to be the most expensive part of the hamburger," says...
