...which should have alerted SEC officials not to accept the stock registration in the first place. Oreclone's prospectus disclosed that two old SEC pen pals were closely related to the company: Sydney Newman, who was to get royalties on all ore concentrate sold by Oreclone, and Robert Rodman, father of the president and of the secretary-treasurer of the company. Both jointly submitted to SEC injunctions in another stock violation case, and both were described by Lefkowitz as having a "notorious background in the stock manipulation field." The real underwriter of the Oreclone issue did not appear...
...Earlier in the week. Rockefellers rained from the sky on Norway. The first to come was Steven's mother, Mary Todhunter Clark Rockefeller, who embraced Anne-Marie and described her to reporters as "wonderful."

Chief insiders: Rico Lebrun, Leonard Baskin, James Kearns. Lebrun is typically represented by an agonized nude entitled Crying Machine, Baskin by a recumbent sculpture suggestive of a fire victim, and Kearns by a powerful drawing of children watching an auto accident.

"The whole emphasis in art for the past hundred years," he maintains, "has been as much against society as possible. The critics say, 'This is art,' and so the public accepts it.
