Afterward, when Leifer asked Castro to autograph a picture from an earlier session, the President's arm was so sore from holding Stevenson's hand aloft in a victory salute that he could barely write. The arm was not too sore, however, to offer Leifer a light for his Cohiba Cuban cigar in the souvenir photo above...
Reports of the possible takeover of Continental prompted nervous speculation among both bankers and investors. One of the biggest concerns is about how the FDIC will handle Continental's $2 billion in Latin American loans. Bankers fear that the FDIC will write them off and take the loss.

The book is written chronologically, but anyone at all familiar with Lee's career could open it anywhere, read a few pages and feel right at home. So often as a player. Lee seemed to be offering unusual, but valid insights-into the game and there was the hope that after retiring he would have had some grand...
