...merchandisers themselves may have to pay for rapacity. "I am no economist, but it is obvious to me that if the West merely treats East Germany as a market to unload goods, there will come a collapse that will drive down the deutsche mark, and they will pay," says Ingrid Stahmer, West Berlin's deputy mayor in charge of housing and social services. "There has to be investment. We must put money in, not just take...
Cerullo won out because the new bankruptcy trustee, Dennis Shedd, preferred to unload all the PTL remains as a unit. Roberts wanted only the TV network, while Cerullo was willing to offer a total of $52 million for all of Bakker's former empire.

...legs on the backs of her highheels while they put bills in her g-string and made chit-chat. Phoenix laughed and nodded, occasionally making a small hand gesture, but their voices were inaudible from our table. Then she would dance off again, pausing by the speakers to unload her g-string tips. Unlike most of the dancers who had mascaraed eyes and sun-bed glossy skin, Phoenix was slender and pale. I worried about her tendons, wincing when she threw her head towards her knees, snapping into the full rear-view stance...
