QUICKSTEP TO THE RICH AND FAMOUS In the Pavilion where ballroom dancing is swinging and swirling, I'm sitting next to a woman of class who confides that she wants to make lots of money. I tell her of Napoleon Hill's classic Think and Grow Rich, how I extolled it to a friend twenty years ago, and he made millions afterwards. Recently he reminded me that the QUICKSTEP to wealth is not service but burning desire, like loving pairs TANGO in white heat and everyone in the room feels on fire or commodity brokers in the pit of Chicago Mercantile Exchange SWING deals WEST COAST & EAST— options and futures on pork bellies, cattle & grains— piling profits upon profits. Before you take TWO-STEPS, these money masters have WALTZED away with emperors across seas to Swiss banks and yachts in the Bahamas. You could CHA CHA and chart price swings on the Dow, treasury bonds and gold, but a wise old gypsy showed me how to forecast market up and downturns based on FOXTROT prints in the woods. To succeed in sales you should not HUSTLE goods on clients but to SALSA their minds with subliminal messages of well-being, ocean sunshine, a tinge of nostalgia, the right pitch of slow-slow-quick-quick-slow, and masses will RUMBA & POLKA their way to your products and that's how all great fortunes are made.             — Peter Y.
