NOTES FROM MIKE GREENSPAN

  Mike Greenspan writes: "Two quick items:  Relative to the
  book review of "Greenback:...":  As a former "insider,"  I
  recall that, in the recent past (not more than ten years ago or
  so), the IRS seized the Mustang Ranch, Nevada's notorious
  brothel, in a tax case, and allowed it to continue to operate
  (legally in Nevada). Strange things happen in government.

  Relative to Dick Johnson's comments on NYC subway
  tokens and the early ten-cent fare, let me say that he is obviously
  younger than I.  I clearly remember using a nickel in the
  subway turnstile in the late 1940's and perhaps as late as 1952,
  prior to the use of any tokens. Now, if can remember where
  I put my car keys............"
