It was a deal that Bochum city officials couldn't refuse:
Through a complex, long-term lease-and-service transaction, the
city would lease out its underground sewer pipes to Wachovia for
$500 million. The city would then immediately lease the pipes
back, thus retaining use of its sewer system, and repay the
lease over a period of many years. In return, Bochum was
immediately paid a $20 million fee. Wachovia would eventually
get its money back -- plus a fast, multi-million-dollar tax
write-off.

dialers that telemarketers use now.

authenticity of the Killian memos. First the typographic spacing
is proportional, as is routine with professional typesetting and
computer typography, not monospace, as was common in typewriters

"l" are spaced closer together than thick letters like "W" and
"M". In monospace, all the letter widths are the same.)
