...spite of Administration efforts to limit the diplomatic fallout by insisting the U.S. action was "in no way a judgment against the Austrian people," the government of Chancellor Franz Vranitzky reacted with calculated displeasure. Austria pointedly recalled its Ambassador from Washington for consultations and rejected the U.S. charges as "unproven."

In early 1984 Milken began using the bonds to finance takeover bids. Until then virtually the only way to raise money for a corporate raid was to borrow the cash from banks, which often attached too many strings. Milken was able to raise the billions necessary for a mega-deal by assembling a network of high-rolling investors whom he could call upon to buy junk bonds, or to promise...
