...some restaurateurs contend that shark may become as popular as Mali-Mali, a dolphin dish that has become a prized delicacy in Hawaii and the West. Miami Entrepreneur William Doherty, who has built a $275,000 trawler-factory to fish for shark, calls it "the product of the future." Its fate will depend largely on the success of the strategy that U.S. restaurateurs are using to overcome the stigma of shark: capitalizing on it. At Gatsby's restaurant in Atlanta's American Motor Hotel, for example, Catering Director George Gold promotes his baked mako by putting...
Goshorn, a computer engineer, and a fellow entrepreneur, Burton A. Yale 44, founded the company in 1967 on $70,000. Sales leaped from $600,000 in 1968 to $61.4 million in the fiscal year ended July 31, 1974, and company officials were predicting $200 million by 1978.

Sam Palka and David Vishkover, for example, is not merely the richest tale in Passions, but one of the most provocative short fictions of the last decade. In his customary role, Sam Palka, self-made entrepreneur, swaggers through a career of indulgence. In off-hours he assumes the role of Vishkover, a modest sewing machine salesman who courts the unprepossessing Channah Basha. As the miserably married Palka, Sam owns the very building in which Channah lives; as the bachelor Vishkover, he is incapable of force or originality...
Eldridge Cleaver's voice was soft and modulated and sprinkled with pauses as he discussed his latest venture--not his efforts to return to the United States, which he was loath to discuss, but his new role as entrepreneur, the designer of a new line of slightly obscene men's trousers...
