An updated link to the New Yorker piece mentioned in the article is http://people.duke.edu/~hpgavin/cee421/citicorp1.htm
Or if you have a New Yorker subscription http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1995/05/29/the-fifty-nine-...
I'd actually read the New Yorker article first, then read the more recent reporting.
edit: this is the same story mentioned by jonlucc in sibling comment.
