...Dallas years were marred, however, by a p.r. nightmare that arose from his sale of his Harken stock. In June 1990, Bush sold all 212,140 of his shares for $848,560, more than 2 1/2 times their original value. His mistake was to sell the stock less than two months before Harken reported a stunning $23 million second-quarter loss. (Bush says he did not know Harken was going to report the loss and thought he was selling into good news--the forthcoming announcement of a new drilling contract.)

...addition to a windfall in gate receipts, a Dead concert would afford the U.C. unparalleled opportunities for secondary profit. Deadheads costumes harken back to the counterculture of the 1960s; ironically, the group's performances are also one of America's last bastions of true laissez-faire capitalism; you can buy or sell any thing outside a Dead show. Unlike virtually all other major rock acts, The Dead place no restrictions on who can sell merchandise...
