...young New England lawyer, he had gone to Colorado when gold was pouring out of the fabulous Cripple Creek district. He got his share of the West's wealth, first as a lawyer, then as a financier of railroads, then as a banker, finally as an oilman. It was a heady day, when Denver was awash with new millionaires and old champagne bottles, and Henry Blackmer was the biggest spender and entertainer of all.

He already has orders from the British government and British Overseas Airways Corp. for 16 Comets, and is hard after U.S. orders, promising delivery...
...investors reluctant to send their money abroad? In Manhattan, Andre Istel, a French banker and onetime delegate to the Bretton Woods monetary conference, looked no farther than the U.S. stock market to find one answer. Said he: "The shares of more than 100 American ... corporations of good standing and high yield are selling on the Stock Exchange at prices lower than the per share values of the working capital of these corporations. In other words, the purchaser of stock of these corporations acquires at no cost [his share of] their fixed assets, equipment, good will and technical ability...
