Down & Up. As rumors spread on Bay Street that the Toronto Stock Exchange would probably suspend Chatco, the speculators sold thousands of shares short, figuring that the suspension would knock down the price of Chatco as it did Great Sweet Grass Oils only three weeks before (TIME, Nov. 5). But the short sellers made one big mistake: they failed to realize that Chatco has only 160,000 shares outstanding.

Todd has never had a hit of such potential dimensions. Having gotten Around the World, he is now sitting on top of it. His plans? Says the man who is pushing 50 as if he intends to knock it over: "As soon as the excitement dies down, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.

He raced his motor, pulled the wheel hard left and let out the clutch, hoping to knock Wally off his seat. Recovering his balance almost instantly, Wally instead aimed his gun at Kuhel's head. Two pistol shots rang out. The MPs swarmed about the Kuhel car. Instead of a dead banker, they found a dead gangster-and, in the back seat of the car, a small boy holding in his hand...
