...Francisco Bay from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf-handcuffed, his feet chained together, and towing a rowboat filled with 1,000 lbs. of sand. After 80 minutes of diving through the bay like a clumsy dolphin, Jack landed at the Wharf, blue with cold. Rushed to a nearby sauna for defrosting, he emerged to the cheers of fans and promptly fell to the ground, only to do ten brisk pushups. Then, his teeth still chattering, he proclaimed: "Anything is possible with the human body...
...what is perhaps the most poignant scene in the movie, Cohen sits down with Duddy in the sauna of his country club and lectures him on the risks and pitfalls of the business world.

In what may turn out to be one of the most bizarre asset-recovery schemes on record, Alwyn Eisenhauer, Vesco's former pilot, settled a beef against his old boss simply by talking his way aboard the plane, then flying it home...
...Haggard occupied for years. He is happiest, however, tinkering with his $50,000 model railroad: 250 freight cars, 35 locomotives and a scale replica of the Bakersfield terminal. Its main line is a kid's dream that runs through the living room, across the sun deck, through the sauna, a bathroom and a bedroom, and then out onto a trestle high above the rear patio...
