...market was going like the Wabash Cannon Ball through 1988 and 1989, Bond's own finances were not. His bid for Irises had been part of a consistent pattern: paying far too much for investments even though they were, as assets, sound.

...women continues, though less hotly at the two military schools. There, cadets tend to agree with a vehement V.M.I, official: "There is no such thing as a Sister Rat, and there never could be."
