Rothstein Quotes

“A. R. promised to abide by Belmont’s wishes—to limit bets, to avoid the track except for holidays. He soon broke those promises. “What are you doing here today?” Belmont asked one day as he spotted Arnold at the track. “It’s a holiday.” “A holiday?” “Why yes, you ought to know, Mr. Belmont. It’s Rosh Hashanah.”
