"There is no clean way to make a hundred million bucks. Somewhere along the line guys got pushed to the wall, nice little businesses got the ground cut out from under them. Decent people lost their jobs. Big money is big power, and big power gets used wrong." Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye "The very banality and innocence of the first act only allowed the blow to fall afterwards with more awful effect.” Robert W. Chambers, The King In Yellow "There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself.” Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye
