Endless Speculation. The plaintiffs' next assertions were yet more startling. Rothko's much-traveled paintings went almost immediately back to Europe, this time by costly air freight. Ross thinks it significant that they were rushed back directly after the injunction against sales went into action on June 23. By June 29, Ross claimed, 19 of Marinotti's 20 Rothkos, among others, were in a warehouse in Zurich where, if they had not yet been sold, they would have been out of U.S. jurisdiction.

Says Analyst Mike Steinberg of Loeb, Rhoades & Co.: "For the first time you have a management structure that knows where they are going...
After working his way through Whitman College, Douglas determined to enter Columbia Law School and rode freight trains east, arriving in New York City with a properly legendary 6? in his pocket. A brilliant student who was anguished at finishing second in his class, he briefly tried a job as a Wall Street lawyer, then moved on to Columbia and Yale, teaching law. Professor Douglas thought most of his students were "spoiled brats." His legal articles on high finance prompted Joseph P. Kennedy to bring him to Washington, D.C., in 1934. He soon succeeded Kennedy as chairman of the Securities...
