- Hm... 69,984 is 96x9x9x9. What a coincidence with $96 down and three
- more participants. Not a penny off. A 729 fold return in 18 months.

- Clinton to nominate me as the Treasurary Secretary into Bentson.

- Not only this is a joke to get suckers to part with their money; it is
- ILLEGAL. You can get fine $5000 and 6 months hard time for each
- offense through mail. If you don't believe me, call your local post
- office.
