The original painting hangs directly opposite the desk of our senior partner, who finds it an ever-present reminder that no "sacred cows" or immortal bulls roam Wall Street. As Baron Rothschild put it: "Fortunes are made by buying low and selling too soon...
...city, none is more corrosive than juvenile delinquency, and the one city in the U.S. that has a giant's share of pain is New York. There, in the weltering tenements and public-housing complexes that pimple district upon district of the city's 299 sq. mi., roam the "bopping clubs," the teen-age street-fighting gangs.

He urged Indonesians to enlist in defense forces recruited and armed by the Japanese; he helped supply his Japanese masters with romushas, or slave laborers, most of whom were never heard of again...
...symphonic poem, his two symphonies. Such pieces have few of Elgar's faults and most of his virtues: the imaginative orchestration, the mystical harmonies, the broad, marching orchestral drive, and the peaceful lyrical passages, which rise and fall as gently as the rolling English countryside Elgar used to roam for inspiration...
