Unlike Howard Hughes, Preston Tucker did not become rich or have a legacy, instead Preston Tucker lost his factory due to all the stocks plummeting because of bad publicity and lawsuits. He also had to sell the remaining cars he had made to finance himself out of bankruptcy. Preston Tucker was an entrepreneur that had an idea that could have made millions, but he had failed because of his ethics and business skill. He promoted a car made from junk parts, could barely operate, and had malfunctions without telling people investing in his stock the truth which had really led to the lawsuit

Hopkins v. Price-Waterhouse is a very detailed case, that features many aspects of the patriarchy, and lingering ways of thinking about gender that are hopefully being phased out of modern society. The Supreme Court chose not to make a ruling, which was the right decision in a legal sense, though there was more proof that Hopkins was discriminated against.

The Tax Court, per Judge Ruwe, issued an order on May 8, 1995, denying Pope & Talbot 's motion and granting the IRS 's motion. The court 's opinion characterized the issue before it as one of "first impression," and found resort to the legislative history of the statute necessary since the court was unable to "achieve...certainty based on the language of the statute." After reviewing the legislative history of IRC Sec. 311, the court observed the following: It is apparent that the purpose underlying IRC Sec. 311(d) was to tax the appreciation in value that occurred while the corporation held the property and to prevent a corporation from avoiding tax on the inherent gain by distributing such property to its shareholders...It follows that we must focus on the value of the Washington properties as owned by petitioner and value them as if petitioner had sold them at fair market value at the time of distribution.

In the early 1930s, gambling was legalized throughout the state of Nevada and casinos began to flourish (Dunstan, 1997). The economic growth in Nevada, especially the city of Las Vegas, has improved tremendously by the creation of casinos. Many people were employed since the operation of casinos requires a huge amount of labor, skill, and expertise. In addition, local retail sales also increased from casinos when gamblers visit the stores to spend their winnings on various items and products (Garrett, 2003).
