...wait. People will fall for the old stock-plot trick once, never twice. Voila, a new ingredient. Harry's getting soft. Not on the crooks, mind you, they still get their just deserts. On himself.

Just as Burden yawned, there was a check for $7.6 million in his mouth like a big moth, a check from Rupert Murdoch--they had mutual friends--offering him $8.25 a share for his stock. Murdoch had chartered a jet and flown to Aspen to make the offer. In the face of such consideration (one gets the impression that Burden didn't even have to take off his skis) the deal went down. Murdoch had been busy; he had lined up other stockholders and with...
