Фолкон набрал на терминале Блумберга тиккер Пенн-Мара. Открыв страничку новостей, он обнаружил статью о судебном иске.

8. Translate into Russian:

1. Like so many midwestern manufacturing headquarters, it had been constructed in the 1950s, when largesse was in vogue and efficiency and downsizing were not part of a CEO's vocabulary. Now Penn-Mar needed only half the space. A result of several rounds of "synergy layoffs" over the past few years. The entire wing he was now exploring was all but empty. 2. Cassandra had been appreciative, as she should have been, and against her better judgment had promised to show him a draft of the article just prior to publication. He had called her references yesterday, people she had worked with, and as he had anticipated, she checked out. People had nothing but good things to say about her: honest, trustworthy, fair, thorough. 3. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you have to appreciate my position. 4. By the time he had reached the airport, the police had been probably already crawling all over the building and the grounds looking for clues.5. The New York Fed was the law and the sheriff was on the take.

6. Translate into Russian in writing:

Suddenly, Winthrop sensed that Falcon was more formidable and resourceful than he had ever given him credit for. And for the first time in as long as he could remember, Granville felt panic. Only a hint of it, but unmistakable just the same. They had been right. He shouldn't have combined the project and his personal vendetta. But he had disregarded their advice. Because he felt himself beyond reproach. He was Granville Winthrop. Worth over three billion dollars. A man of supreme power. Able to make or break Fortune 500 companies at will. He needn't heed anyone's advice. But now he was paying the price for that attitude. And because of him, they might all pay. So the hell with the insider-trading charge and a slow death in prison for Andrew Falcon. The hell with the painful revenge for Falcon turning his back on Winthrop, Hawkins and him. It was time for Phoenix Grey to use his deadly talent to its utmost.
