During his successful four-year campaign to persuade the British government to cough up $156 million in loans and grants, maverick Automaker John Zachary De Lorean confidently predicted that American customers in 1982 would buy 20,000 of the sporty stainless-steel autos manufactured by De Lorean Motor Co. (price tag: $25,000). De Lorean, however, had not reckoned on the continued disastrous slump in U.S. auto sales.

...Fair. Moses left behind twelve bridges, 35 highways, 658 playgrounds and more than 2 million acres of parks. He also built two Robert Moses state parks, a Robert Moses Causeway, a Robert Moses Parkway, a Robert Moses Dam at Niagara and another at Massena, which bears his name in stainless steel letters 3 ft. high. When he was forced out of power by Nelson Rockefeller in 1968, it was estimated he had spent the equivalent of $27 billion...
