This week’s case

Bernie Madoff, A 150-year sentence and a long recovery, 2009

Tuesday morning: keep only 2009 and 150 for Bernie Madoff on the notebook at the reading room. Use “A 150-year sentence and a long recovery” as the heading for Bernie Madoff. At the evening, write 2009 before 150. Do not build a scoreboard beside Bernie Madoff. Leave A 150-year sentence and a long recovery and 150 alone on the notebook.

Bernie Madoff is “A 150-year sentence and a long recovery” in 2009, and the figure kept beside it is 150. This week, read one case only, and do not gather mysteries, frauds, and accidents on one sheet. Leave the year and the scale in the margin, and do not write the order of the act. New York legal-business coverage followed Picard’s complaints against funds and banks as a second series, often more important to recoveries than the sentencing day. At the reading room, open Bernie Madoff so the notebook shows 2009 first, 150 next, and “A 150-year sentence and a long recovery” beside them.

This week, write only the case’s name, the year, and the figure in the evening notebook, and keep one line for what happened. Close the notebook and do not try those steps the next day. The order is Bernie Madoff, 2009, 150, then “A 150-year sentence and a long recovery”. When the evening is done, look again only at 2009 for Bernie Madoff and leave 150 on the notebook.

Do not turn it into steps someone could follow, and do not turn the toll into a score for the story. In the reading room, open only that case, and skip any line that ranks it. Leave the year and the scale in the margin, and do not write the order of the act. Match A 150-year sentence and a long recovery with 150 at the reading room before you close 2009 for Bernie Madoff. Bernie Madoff is “A 150-year sentence and a long recovery” in 2009, and the figure kept beside it is 150.

This week, write only the case’s name, the year, and the figure in the evening notebook, and keep one line for what happened. Bernie Madoff is “A 150-year sentence and a long recovery” in 2009, and the figure kept beside it is 150.2009
