Hammerman tried to collect between 3% and 5% of a contract's total value but is described as having been willing to accept "any reasonable sum." He "generally held Mr. Agnew's 50% share in a safe-deposit box until Mr. Agnew called for it." The Governor would do so by telephoning Hammerman to ask how many "papers" his friend was holding. Says the summary: "It was understood between Mr. Agnew and Hammerman that the term 'paper' referred to $1,000 in cash...
...election campaign, Rebozo said. (Banner claims that the funds were earmarked for congressional candidates in the 1970 mid-term elections.) Yet for reasons that are unclear, the money was not turned over to any campaign. Instead, Rebozo kept it stashed in a Key Biscayne safe-deposit box until last spring, when Robert Maheu, the deposed head of Hughes' Nevada gambling empire, mentioned the contribution's existence in a deposition connected with his $17 million suit against Hughes. At that point, Rebozo said, he returned the $100,000 to Hughes...
More important, it has started an unintended flood of money out of S and Ls and savings banks; depositors are pulling cash out of passbook accounts that pay only 5¼% annual interest and buying Treasury bills, bank certificates of deposit (CDs) and other investments that sometimes yield more than 9%.

...coincidence, the outflow began when Washington granted financial institutions permission to sell so-called "wild card" CDs. The wild cards, sold to savers who will keep at least $1,000 on deposit for at least four years, yield interest at whatever rate the issuer chooses to pay; Manhattan's First National City Bank last week was offering CDs yielding 9.59% for this quarter. S and Ls can and do sell wild cards, but their ability to do so is severely limited by a rule specifying that the total amount of wild cards an institution offers cannot equal more than...
...program has become an immediate boon to the community. Students work each afternoon on jobs that Lodwick helped them land, and Lodwick marches them to the local bank once a week to deposit 10% of what they earn. One boy runs the projector at the local drive-in, another who loves horses helps at the town tack shop. One has worked out so well on a nearby cattle ranch that the owner wants to pay the youngster's tuition at agricultural college...
