...after a brief tour by the author; the second edition of 5,000 simply lay there. But Pinckney, a rebel of long standing, refused to give up.

...change me by throwing water at me--or money. But then TRADING PLACES (Harvard Science Center) might tell a different story. Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd reenact the old Prince and Pauper tale under the guise of a special experiment, the kind without flashing lights. Ackroyd, born with spoon in mouth and (as ever) no expression on face, plays the arrogant Rich Kid who loses it all so [the] thief sans trust fund ends up with his loot.
