Howard Gould Loses Half His Inheritance Over Marriage
New York stories say Howard Gould must forfeit half of his $12 million share from his father’s $80 million will for marrying Katherine Clemmons without executors’ consent. Brothers George, Jay, Edwin, and sister Helen Gould oppose the match and expect a codicil to enforce the restriction. A legal battle looms as public policy arguments arise over the right to marry and the limits of will-based restraints.

Fitzgerald bought a $20 mileage book used for personal use and to transport volunteer physicians.
