(That sugar fine amounts to $51.70 a pound for those keeping score at home. Such prices! I ask ya!)

"The lesson here is to always have a legitimate business serve as a front to be the fall guy in case of an unfortunate situation such as this. Hmm, now I'll have to buy the sugar back from an "entrepreneurial" policy officer. Oh well, it's the cost of doing business."

Be it in the public sector, in business or (worse) in charitable foundations, this is one of mankind's most-evergreen stories.

The Bronx today has its second case of a young girl absconding from home with the family savings. Police reported that 12-year-old Mary Perez disappeared from her home at 1017 Intervale Avenue carrying a suitcase and $1000 in cash her uncle, William Medina, had been saving to bring his two children here from Puerto Rico. The girl is said to have left a message for her mother, stating that she intended to kill herself "because she had been punished."
...
You don't need $1000 to do that.

Meanwhile, the family of 15-year-old Rose Amalfitano of 286 E. 149th Street, who disappeared with two other girls earlier this week, received a letter from the missing girl stating that she will send back the $7500 in cash she took from a family closet, but she did not say anything in the letter about coming home.
...
If she does ever want to come home, she better send back the $7500, at least if her family works at all like mine did.
And in the Daily News...
"Now, a bath towel around one's midriff is not the customary attire for teas." Hmph, clearly you need to get out more.

"The Rooneys" (Mickey and wife Ava freakin' Gardner, she being all of twenty-years old, "take that Artie and Frank" says Mickey) being victims of a jewelry heist couldn't be a more 1942 story.

There are so many things wrong with Panel 3 I hardly know where to start.

Gould went hard in the direction of that line of thinking yesterday. At least she appears to be facing up.

"No, she always calls me 'Timoshenko.'"

Good one, Mr. Clark.

After that embarrassment and after God knows how many others, it might be time for Terry to consider the honorable Japanese ritual of seppuku. For God sakes, Bo could do better.
