It involved drawing up a list of items which would be very hard to access, then assembling a week later in teams and thieving said items. The most daring raids garnered the most points. I was a wimp even in those days and spent much time gathering many, ...5 days ago -

Sorkin has written the up-close-and-very-personal story of the financial crisis:who did what when, in extra-fine ...1 week ago -
