During the late eighteenthcentmy, Love and his four sons Samuel,John, Charles and Augustine transfOrDledthe property into a vibrant mercantile center. The Loves' developmentof Buckland began with the constructionof the main housein 1774. The single pile stone residence is commonly attributed to architect William Buckland but has not been documented. Beside the existing mill, Love built an assortmentof secondary structuresfor production of farm goods at the base of the lane leading to the main house. In 1775,he petitioned the General Assembly to re-route the Old Carolina road so it would run directly to these outbuildingsand anotherbeyond, to ThoroughfareGap. Soon,the distillery, blacksmith,tannery, store and a secondmill were being frequentedby travelers. Outsidemerchants arrived, leased adjoining parcels and built storesof their own.

    $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup (Grade 1) Saturday, September 27, 2014 Belmont Park – Elmont, NY NBC Sports Network, 6-8 pm ET live! Haynesfield (2010) is the only horse to wire the JCGC in the last 10 years, beating eventual BC Classic champ Blame in the process. Six straight JCGC winners had prepped at Saratoga, but four consecutive winners lost that previous start at the Spa. The trifecta in 5 straight JCGC editions has been made up exclusively of horses who prepped at Saratoga most recently. JCGC also-rans have won the Breeders' Cup Classic in three of the last four years: Fort Larned (2012), Drosselmeyer (2011), & Blame (2010). Curlin (2007) is the last horse to win both the JCGC and the Classic in the same year. Favorites have lost the last four runnings of the JCGC at odds of 5/2, 5/2, 6/5 and 4/5. The JCGC favorite has missed the trifecta just once in the last 10 years (2005, when the entry of Flower Alley and Bishop Court Hill finished fourth and eighth, respectively, at odds of 3/2). Borrego is the only horse to win the JCGC in the last 10 years with a true closing run, scoring from nearly a dozen lengths off the pace. Only one other winner in that timeframe has been more than 5 lengths off the pace at any point in the race, Flat Out in 2012.

Located at 25 Broadway, a few steps away from the future site of the Charging Bull, the iconic 7,000-pound bronze sculpture erected by Arturo Di Modica following the 1987 stock market crash, Icahn & Company was then a small, but successful, discount option brokerage with a specialty inCOPYRIGHTED arbitrage. Kingsley, a graduate MATERIALof the Wharton School with a master’s degree in tax from New York University, had joined Icahn in 1968. Immediately impressed by his ability to quickly grasp complex transactions, Icahn had asked Kingsley what he knew about arbitrage. “Not a thing,” Kingsley had replied.1 Soon Kingsley was spending most of his days arbi- traging the securities of conglomerates like Litton Industries, LTV, and IT&T.

  • The Birth of Unocal — a Brief History
    THE BIRTH OF UNOCAL-A BRIEF HISTORY BY ANDREW G.T. MOORE I" ABSTRACT Justice Moore's commentary on the history ofUnocal is afirst-hand account of the Delaware Supreme Court's Unocal decision. He provides the history of corporate takeovers prior to Unocal, and then takes the reader through the development of the case itself, including the history of the company, the trialcourt's involvement and the personalitiesbehind the curtain. He also provides insight into how the court decided to adopt the so-called Unocal intermediate standard of review and he explains the essentialfeatures of the court's decision. Justice Moore concludes with how Unocal, along with Moran v. Household International, Inc., heard by the Delaware Supreme Courtfour days after its Unocal decision,forever changed hostile corporate takeovers. I. THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT BEFORE 1985 Hostile takeovers were nothing new to the twentieth century. With the Great Depression and World War H1 over, there was money to be made from taking control of companies with underperforming assets and management. Robert R. Young, whose early ties to Delaware through his work for the DuPont Company, General Motors, and as a protdgd of John Jacob Raskob, the financial genius of those two companies, is a story of legend. Young made a fortune by selling short just before the 1929 stock market crash. In 1942, he acquired control of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company, and later, in an epic proxy contest he gained control of the New York Central Railroad, one of the foundations of the Vanderbilt fortune. A contemporary of Young's was Thomas Mellon Evans, a distant relation of the Pittsburgh family bearing his middle name.
