FOUR SEASONS NURSING CENTERS OF AMERICA INC., now Anta Corp. Record high stock price (1969): $91. Low (1970): 6?. Last week: $7.25. Like many of the highflyers, Four Seasons was built on a solid idea: cashing in on then new Medicare and Medicaid legislation and the growing need for facilities to care for the nation's ailing aged.

He could afford to help: his recent Hoarfrost multiples sell for up to $4,000 each; the 1962 silk-screen Barge could well command $500,000 on the market today...
Died. Paul John ("Frankie") Carbo, 72, once the underworld's "commissioner of boxing"; of heart disease; in Miami Beach. Born on New York City's Lower East Side, Carbo graduated from a reformatory to become a hoodlum and reputed hit man for Murder Inc. During boxing's unsavory heyday, Carbo was a racketeer and strongman, forcing managers to fix fights. He was sent to jail for 25 years in 1961 for conspiracy and extortion, but was paroled this year because of failing health...
