Though the 40-odd tribes of Northern Laos are permitted to raise poppies and extract opium from their pods-it is the only cash crop available to them-the export of the drug is illegal. The boys at the Snow Leopard get around the ban by maintaining a fleet of half a dozen Single-engine Beavers and Pipers outfitted with auxiliary gas tanks. They fly into South Viet Nam and parachute the jam to agents in isolated valleys, who carry it to Saigon...

His wife loses body and soul to Old Scratch, but wily Tom sells his soul only, and for hard cash. "Lend the money," the devil suggests, "at 2% a month." "Egad," replies Tom, "I'll charge...
Spiritualized Cash. Author Rand will not let the world get off that easily. Already she has hurled more than 1,000,000 words in two hectoring novels at what she considers the root illness of man-the tyrrany of altruism.

...more here, but it doesn't bother us." Wolfson's philosophical calm conceals a genuine, almost intellectual excitement about construction. The son of a Cincinnati pantsmaker, he majored in philosophy and political science at the University of Cincinnati, went to Florida after graduation in 1924 to cash in on the Florida land boom. He and a partner bought two lots for $7,000, pyramided their investment into a tidy fortune in a few years - then lost it all when the bubble burst. But that did not shatter Wolfson's love affair with building. He went...
