Wilson employment history???

In Charles Bufe Book , Wilson was not a stock broker but a stock investigator, what exactly is that?

Clarence Synder notes that by 1944 Wilson had not worked for nine years yet came by a $27000 house and a cadillac.

What was Wilsons employment from 1929 to 1935?

The good Wife

I don't know if any of you had the opportunity to watch the Good Wife Nov. 18th, it was an episode where the viewer was introduced to the Judge Creary. Creary a jerk who's let his recent divorce drive him over the edge into alcoholism.
He is still drinking , attending AA meetings, and showing bias in a trial, Will Gardniner wants the judge to recluse himself after a chance meeting in the bar where the judge drunk in his cups comments on Wills client.

Felons and Drug Dealers run Half way houses for addicts.

How did Troy Charles, a felon with a history of violence, theft and drug dealing, get into the business of housing recovering addicts?

Easy. Almost anyone can open a halfway house in Florida because there's almost no regulation or accountability.

Bill Wilson a Republican who lived off A Bailout

I read in one of the bios that Bill Wilson was a staunch republican but all the while living in a house that benefited from Roosevelts mortgage deferment. They eventually lost the house. In his drunken stupors he would rant against Roosevelt and the New Deal

If some one could find reference to this on the Orange papers I would appreciate this.
