| Art Rapp's mimeo, because it can be and has been broken down to be carried in that container. In fact, Art was doing just that at the time of the Greenlease kidnapping, and had horrid visions of trying to explain to the police that what he had in that bulgy bag was actually a mimeograph and not ransom money. |
