Bette Midler testifies, "for years I never said a word that Bruce didn't charge me for." Robin Williams: "This man cracks my ass--with laughter." Nathan Lane: "He's given more great lines to celebrities than a Hollywood coke dealer...
...named Richard Kelly Hoskins crafted an ideology that serves as a grim elixir of anti-Semitism and racism. While Butler is the center of the organization, Hoskins has provided a skein of quasi-scholarly justifications for the movement, covering history, economics and mythology. Hoskins, a former securities dealer living in Virginia, insisted in a statement last week that he does not advocate violence. Yet his book War Cycles/Peace Cycles, a copy of which was found in the van Furrow drove to Los Angeles last week, discusses the necessity of assassinating national leaders...

Lesson No. 2: mint condition means perfection, and nothing you have qualifies. My Topps '85 McGwire rookie card had been touched by human hands only two or three times before...
...better luck with other items, though, and found that should I so choose, cashing in without getting ripped off is easier than you might expect. Do not take collectibles to the neighborhood memorabilia dealer, who will give you half of retail value. For items worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, online auction sites like eBay or Amazon.com are a great place to sell. For more valuable items, sports auctioneers, such as Leland's, Mastro and Superior Sports, are worth...
