...Scribner's Sons, estimates that 1 million Hemingway books are sold each year in the U.S. alone. In the past year, a major new biography by Jeffrey Meyers has appeared, as well as a memoir by his son Jack Hemingway. Jack and some other relatives have lately formed Hemingway Ltd., which will market the family name for use on such items as fishing rods and safari clothes.

Starting in 1979 with a $70,000 deposit at Credit Suisse Ltd. in the Bahamas, Wilkis conducted some 50 trades using inside information, according to the Government. Along the way, he transferred assets to other banks in the Cayman Islands, controlling the money through still more institutions in Liberia and the Bahamas and using the code name Mr. Blake.

"It looks like I'm kind of related...
...spectacle of a Supreme Court Justice taking a bribe in public is shocking. But that is what happened at Georgetown's Trinity Theater when Justice William Rehnquist joined the Washington Savoyards Ltd. for a surprise walk-on during their production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience. + Appropriately cast as the Solicitor, Rehnquist made his one-night-only appearance during the finale of the first act. Having been persuaded by the heroine to rig a raffle so that she can win the man she loves, Rehnquist stepped forward and, with much judicial flourish, presented a large bowl filled with extra tickets...
