...other labor leaders. That did not especially please the six Senators present, half of whom can count their net worth in seven figures.- The most heated exchanges came when Republican Senator Bob Pack wood of Oregon (net worth: $100,000) accused both Blumenthal and Carter of "demagogu-ery." Whereupon Blumenthal, himself a stock-option millionaire from his Bendix Corp. days, retorted, "This isn't demagoguery. It's facts." He added testily: "I'm not running for office, and I don't particularly need this...
...limited to 24, so we were a tight, expectant little company. Copey explained that he got to know Frankfurter when the latter was a student at the Law School where, said Copey he has been pouring out words ever since. Today Felix had something special in his mind. Whereupon, for two hours Frankfurter spread before us the details of the "portentous case of Sacco-Vanzetti."

U.S. Lines lost $1.5 million in 1970, whereupon Sullivan began looking for a buyer for that arm of the Kidde empire. He agreed to give R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. a six-year option, but trustbusters blocked the sale because Reynolds had acquired McLean's Sea-Land operation...
Okay, so I'll take the noon bus. It left at 12:30 (an omen, which I missed, of things to come) and reached East Brunswick, N.J., by about 1 p.m., whereupon all but three people got off the bus. Thinking quickly, I figured they were all going to a convention in East Brunswick, so I held my seat and looked out the window as the bus started up again. We reached the next station and the bus driver yelled, "Last stop, everybody off." I inquired politely what had happened to Princeton, the alleged destination. "Shoulda got off last stop...
