Dam-breaking sequence...
You mean "Only a Poor Old Man"?  Gods, I loved that story.  The Beagles 
may've been tougher, and they may even have found a may to swipe $crooge's 
fortune "square", but $crooge proved that he's still "smarter than the 
smarties."  Wonderful stuff.

How neat it is to discover that one of my favorite U$ stories had such a 
powerful influence on Don Rosa himself!
