'WALL STREET SCAM - Making Millions With Your Money' December 1, 1986 TIME Magazine article reporting on the arrest and allegations against infamous arbitrageur Ivan Frederick Boesky.

Full article under the cut. Reporting and photography credits are included and can be found at the end.

Edit, 2026: DISCLAIMER: When I originally posted this, all of their digitised full past issues in their entirety were FREE to access online from TIME themselves. That is how I accessed this article, I did not pirate it, and I have never profited from reposting it. Now access via TIME requires a subscription apart from select articles, not including this one. Thankfully, this post is images of each page, not a link, keeping it freely available - as I believe it should be. Enjoy.

Men in the Cities, Robert Longo

For Men in the Cities, Robert Longo set up his camera on the rooftop of his apartment and threw a variety of objects at his friends, capturing their aggressive reactions in these remarkable photographs, created between 1977 and 1983. The jerks and spasms of Longo's subjects, sharply dressed in business attire, have an elegance and grace that is entirely unexpected; protective reactions and exaggerated gestures have been turned into effortless and authentic choreography, a ballet of falls and stumbles, leaps and trips. The movements are fresh and vital, full of energy and life, even while they portray a sense of agony. They document an essence of human motion, boiled down to pure expression. This work later became the inspiration for his iconic Men in the Cities series of large-scale, monochrome charcoal and graphite drawings.
