Gaudete, vos feminae antiquae! O vos fortissimae invictaeque-Susania Antony, Elizabetha Cady Stanton, Elizabetha Blackwell, nostra Elizabetha Agassiz-quae pro suffragio, pro dignitate muliebri, pro educatione puellarum et doctrina quae pueris foret aequa fortissime contendistis. In universitate Harvardiana, in patria, in orbeterrarum, status feminarum plerumque inferior dudum habetur. Mulieres se contemnere didicerunt. Copiae et honores et titulihominibus dati tamen feminis sunt negati . . . Arma nondum licet deponere, meae sorores, nee proeliurn tarn Ion-gum tamque difficile nobis est relin-quendum.

With get-rich-quick promises, Jigs reportedly offered to cut McLain in on the action if he would back the operation with "a few thousand dollars." McLain and his close friend, Edwin Schober, then vice president of Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Co. in Detroit, fell...
...local high-roller wagered $8,000 on a race at the Detroit Race Course. His horse won, and the payoff was supposed to be $46,600. When McLain failed to cough up the money, says SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, he was called before Tony Giacalone, strong-arm man for Detroit Cosa Nostra Boss Joe Zerilli. Tough Tony put his foot down-hard, right on McLain's toes. According to SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, Denny explained in one of several versions that he had dislocated his toes at home while chasing raccoons away from his garbage cans. At the time Detroit was fighting...
