Cast your memory back to an early scene in the premiere last spring.  Leland
and Ben are talking about the Ghostwood Deal they are trying to complete with
the Norwegians.  Ben says (approximately), "I have information that the mill
will be going belly-up.  We can get the land for a song-- one verse, no
chorus."  I guess now we know what song he was referring to.
