Riklis can thus tap 20 years of Schenley earnings to repay most of the purchase price. Inevitably, some...
Homer finds whimsy everywhere. Wall Street, he notes, is physically only "an inauspicious little alley." He depicts the typical bond buyer as a "friendly, earnest, knowledgeable-looking man who sits at a big desk staring at a small piece of paper with an expression on his face of agonized apprehension. He is worried because he doesn't quite know what he should be worried about...
