		Louis Wolfson was born in New York in 1931.
		Also Wolfson made himself a linguist: to increases his chances of the achievement [of homophonic translation], he has to be cunning, to learn to play with the laws that govern languages, to turn them and turn them around again.
		Wolfson’s practical use of the homophonic method to translate sentences and labels is probably one of the reasons that explains his employment of idiosyncratic, negotiable meaning over the basis meaning of Brisset’s translations.

	Dangerous Dreamers: The Financial Innovators from Charles Merrill to Michael Milken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Precursors include Louis Wolfson--like Milken, "shy and assertive, loyal and patriotic," and a Jewish outsider--who was the first to buy up the stock of technically "undervalued" companies, break up the companies, and sell off the pieces at huge profits: In 1967, he was convicted of stock manipulation.
		Louis Wolfson and Jimmy Ling in the 1960s and '70s did the same things that Milken did in the 1980s and experienced the same end.
		Although Sobel (The Big Board) records such ``innovations'' as the Merrill Lynch small-investors-in-volume sales approach, Louis Wolfson's ``conglomerate'' pioneering and the corporate raidings of Boone Pickens, Sobel's liveliest concern here is the controversial ``junk-bond'' market of the 1980s and its star performer, Michael Milken.

		The money came, as I recall, from both Wolfson and his family foundation and was to amount to $20,000 a year, for the rest of Fortas's life (and the life of his wife if she survived him).

		These showed that Fortas had agreed to more than a onetime payment of $20,000 from Wolfson: rather, the Wolfson Foundation had arranged to pay Fortas $20,000 a year for life, and should he predecease his wife, the foundation would pay Mrs.
		Wolfson told the government's top prosecutor that Fortas had done nothing for him, nor had he ever hinted that he might.
