...genial Nate the job was neither unusual nor big. Last year he and his men finished painting all of the Sunflower plant's 3.500 buildings (price $765,000). He is a past master at taking risks and coming out on top. Born in Russia 56 years ago, he came to Denver when he was 19, hired himself out to a painting contractor. Unable to understand English, he got by with painting whatever he thought needed...
First big job Nate got as a contractor looked juicy $100,000 to paint the corridors of Washington's U.S. Agriculture Building.

Instead of killing him, his captors handled him with the special care due such a special person...
...boss of these operations, handsome, silvery-haired, 46-year-old Nate Twining runs his show from a regular Mussolini of a desk-a huge arc of walnut originally built to the specifications of an Italian general. Under its glass top are maps; above the maps Twining allows nothing but a pen and inkwell to linger...
