Sublime

Fun lives

Howard Hughes, like so many wealthy people, died in an asylum of his own making.

In eleven long years John Bergson had made but little impression upon the wild land he had come to tame.

Hill especially loved to hold forth on four subjects near and dear to his heart: free trade, resource depletion and conservation, agriculture, and of course, railroading.

This, I made a note at the time, is what distinguishes work from school. Curious minds were not what Massey was after. Massey was looking for cult followers.

But it compelled me to watch Jefferies more closely, a company whose namesake and origin, unlike Morgan Stanley, had a pretty non illustrious past (for starters, I had never worked at an established firm that had only one name).

for Hill, the merger truly represented the capstone of his life’s work.
