Money isn't created equal. I bet Rudy Giuliani accepts the $1 million from the alley scavenger with admiration, respect and gratitude. <The will directs that Temeczko's entire estate -- which Wangensteen estimates will total more than $1 million -- should go to New York and be used at the discretion of Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the City Council.> That $1 million is worth more than the $10 million from the oily Sheik. I don't have a good grasp of it, but there is something to do with Joe Temeczko, freedom, happiness, satisfaction, feeling good, not wasting anything and producing good things which is, I suspect, what the perfect life is about. It's like minimizing entropy. Where I have a problem is that I bet Rudy and the City Council will fail to live up to Joe's standards of care and attention to detail. Rather than hand it over to somebody else to spend, I wonder if he wouldn't have done a better job himself. Being dead, he didn't have the choice. But he could have spent it sooner, unless he wanted to keep it in case he needed it. As I say, I struggle with the concepts. I find the whole business fascinating and puzzling. I suspect Joe was happier in his apparent poverty than the sheik with his opulent lifestyle and $10m spare change. I think I would have accepted the $10 million from the Sheik and donated it straight to the USS Enterprise, as a gift from NYCity and Sheik whatsisname, to help in achieving what the Sheik wanted, which was peace in our time. But I really haven't got a clue about Joe and what it means. Mqurice PS: I wonder if Pauper Joe had a CDMA phone.
