...wealthy clients, or both. There are also a few individual operators, ike Ivan Boesky, a lawyer, accountant, and security analyst. He set up his own firm two years ago to deal exclusively in arbitrage, and boasts that he works 18 hours a day at the game. Boesky, an immaculate dresser and a devotee of squash who once taught English literature in Iran, made an estimated $7 million on the Babcock & Wilcox auction...

Carter no sooner arrived at Woolsington Airport near Newcastle on this cool and sometimes cloudy day than he plunged...
...penny is a casualty of inflation; people do not want to be bothered with it. Though an estimated 40 billion pennies are supposed to be in circulation; millions are removed each year as they pile up in dresser drawers and Mason jars. The more that are withdrawn, the more the Government has to mint so that merchants will be assured a steady supply. The report estimates that by 1990 the mint will have to turn out 37 billion pennies a year (compared with 9 billion today); by then, the cost of manufacturing a penny will be about 1.5?, more than...
