In their burning desire to be first, the brothers and their management team not only saved the company; they transformed and expanded it in a way that would...

But Pound has done a satisfying job of culling the word-master's words, and the result is a picture of a skillful stylist and keen observer who kept his artistic standards high, even when turning words into gold at the rate of $10,000 a month...
