...Thank you for your reference to the 37½% dividend paid to my creditors. Not a bad snowing for a "fraudulent" bankruptcy. Much better in fact than the usual returns from honest (?!) bankrupts. In dollars and cents, 37½% is equal to about $1,500,000. If you add to it the $1,750,000 absorbed by referees, receivers, trustees, auditors, experts, court fees, lawyer fees, plus the $1,500,000 of "depreciation" of assets (great alibi that!), plus $2,000,000 of so-called "unearned" profits paid by me to investors before bankruptcy, and never recovered, the staggering figure...
...Tube's directors had neglected their duty, acted "without necessary information." That the rights of the minority stock holders "were violated because vital information was withheld from them." Of the merger terms, the Court said: Grave doubt as to the adequacy of the consideration exists. "Nothing to say. Thank you very kindly," was the only remark made by Mr. Eaton when he heard the news.

...from being a reprehensible "vagrant," Mr. Guzik was a "credit" to the community. After brief deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. "That's fine!" cried Mr. Guzik. "I knew you gentlemen would see it. I'm a businessman. I thank...
...past, at least, is secure." "Sea of upturned faces." "Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable." (And Alexander Hamilton) "He touched the dead corpse of Public Credit and it sprung upon its feet." "Thank God-I also-am an American!" "Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country." "Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish I give my hand and my heart to this vote." "One country, one constitution, one destiny." "When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers therefore are the founders of human civilization." "There is nothing...
