I love this story:
"One day in New York in the early 1960s he took $40 to the track, got on a roll by hitting the daily double, and by day's end made a successful $3,000 win bet on a 3-1 shot. He came home with $20,000. 'I put the money on my mother's bed,' he recalled in 2003. 'She thought I had robbed a bank.'"
