...Investor (real estate, oil) Bus Mosbacher is only 36, but he has matched tacks and tactics with Shields for a decade-mostly in the hard-sailing International class and dinghies-on the waters of Long Island Sound. A sailor since childhood, Mosbacher is famed for his starts and his skill with light...
Partner Paul Mazur argued that Thornton was just another eggheaded visionary, said that any loan to him would go down the drain. But other Lehman partners, impressed by Thornton's job at Hughes, raised $1,500,000 in an unusual financing deal. Each investor was required to buy at least $29,200 in bonds and stocks.

Any U.S. investor in a country included in the program-from Venetian-blind makers in The Netherlands to rayon manufacturers on Formosa-can apply for insurance covering the full value of the investment. Policies bear a relatively modest annual premium of one-half of 1%. In the event of a claim, the U.S. Government takes upon itself to save or recover the investment, gives full restitution to the U.S. firm before undertaking legal and diplomatic action to collect. Premiums paid by protected firms go into...
