The firm’s partners were reduced to scavenging childhood savings for cash

Evidence

On that same morning, Gordon searched the drawers of his desk and filing cabinet for any Krugerrands or stray hundred-dollar bills that he might have overlooked in earlier forays. In the back of one drawer he found a tattered blue savings account book from Brookline Savings. The last entry, a deposit, had been made in May 1962, when Gordon was eight years old. The account balance read $39.42. — Jonathan Harr, A Civil Action, 2720
