Burns, 36, and Aberle, 27, are one-half of a four-man contract mining team. It will take them nearly a month to produce the 2,000 tons of ore needed to yield one 401-oz. bar that is "four nines," or 99.99% pure gold. But they will never see any of it. Even so, says fellow Miner Dan Cooper, a big Dakota farm boy lately turned miner: "People back home are always asking, 'How much did you get?'

Though Carter admitted last year that he had "never been a really good athlete," he has proved to be a very conscientious exerciser and one of the most versatile sportsmen ever to serve as Chief Executive. He enjoys activities ranging from bowling and swimming (he can execute an impressive one-and-a-half flip off the diving board at the Camp David pool) to fly-fishing and quail hunting.

And although Straw had told Benedek that he had a buyer lined up to pay $19 million for the $15 million group of old masters, no payment appeared from that deal either. Benedek became suspicious and, he claims, asked Straw for proof of purchase and sale. Straw did not furnish it. He wrote Benedek two checks totaling $655,000; both bounced. Then he wrote three promissory notes to cover his debts...
