The Post series and book are loaded with names of Texas-size wheeler-
dealers, but it's circumstantial. There's a little bit on Lloyd Bentsen and
sons, a bit more on George Bush and sons, even more on slick operators who
appear to be CIA assets, and more still on Mafia-connected deals that
involve property flipping as a cover for fraudulent loan schemes using
federally-insured funds (your tax dollars). The names come from the records
of state and federal agencies and courts, as well as newspaper clippings.
The book's title is misleading, as the book itself leaves the impression
that this is all business-as-usual for greedy Texans. But unless NAFTA
returns the territory to Mexico, where certain Banana Republic of Texas
businesses might have more room to deal, it's worthwhile trying to track
these fun folks. In that sense, Brewton's contribution is significant.
