This guy is pretty interesting, but it's hard to find much info about him. I (Philly native) remember when he went bankrupt back in the 1960s, I thought it was fascinating that someone could have $100 million and still be flat broke--a pre-cursor of Donald Trump! I recently saw a TV documentary on the John Hancock Center, which covered Wolman's role in getting it off (on?) the ground. I just read somewhere that not long ago, he and some other investors tried to buy the Washington Redskins for $800 million--evidently he's back in the black!--BillFlis 22:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
