Usage:

Whatever you do with your money, don't let the pains of having it snuff out the pleasures of wanting. The only point of having money is the freedom it gives you to sharpen your desires to learn more, help more, play more, enjoy more, and make life even more extraordinary than it is anyway.

Mister Master. The title mania will be hard to snuff out. A senior administrative court inspector, first class, glories in being called Herr Verwaltungsgerichtoberinspektor, and a section manager at the big German electrical firm of Siemens is an Abteilungsbevollmächtigter (section plenipotentiary), even though he may be in charge of only six men.

Based on instinct-shooting techniques developed by a Georgia snuff salesman and trick shot named Bobby Lamar ("Lucky") McDaniel, 41, the Quick Kill method was developed for the Army by McDaniel's former business associate, Promoter Mike Jennings, 50, a dabbler in horse races, prize fights and shooting matches. Behind the method is the same principle that a small boy instinctively adopts in a game of Cowboys and Indians. When he sights his foe, he flicks his index finger toward him and, without really aiming, hollers "Bang! You're dead!" His hand is an extension...
