When that building was demolished in 1968, the time capsule was found and kept by the wrecker until late last year, when he brought it to a dealer to sell. The solid brass...

"There's a few things you aren't going to stop people from doing," he philosophizes while sitting behind an inch-high stack of $100 bills. "Smoking, drinking, and maybe sometimes placing a bet." For Hecht, an evening at West Flagler "is an evening of fun. That's what we call it, an evening...
