...Russian-born, multilingual financier named Serge Semenenko, 60. Vice chairman of Boston's old and eminently respectable First National Bank, Semenenko has long enjoyed a reputation in banking circles for rescuing failing corporations with timely infusions of credit. Among his patients: the Hearst publishing empire, which he helped cure, in the early 1940s, of a disastrous indebtedness of nearly $150 million.

There should be a booster a year later and every five years thereafter...

He had been poor (though during his lean years he paid for a divorce instead of taxes), and when for one year (on the royalties of his gamy novel, Memoirs of Hecate County) he had the income of a small businessman, he should not have been taxed as if his money were an annual affair...
