From the New York Times, the obituary for John Fairfax:
"... At 9, he settled a dispute with a pistol. At 13, he lit out for the Amazon jungle.

To please his mother, who did not take kindly to his being a pirate, he briefly managed a mink farm, one of the few truly dull entries on his otherwise crackling résumé, which lately included a career as a professional gambler..."
