- The Junk Man Goeth
- </hdr><body>
- <p> For Drexel Burnham Lambert and its junk-bond wizard,
- Michael Milken, the pretense is over and the divorce begins. In
- court papers filed last week, it was disclosed that Drexel has
- agreed to fire Milken and withhold his 1988 bonus, estimated at
- $200 million. Since the investment firm has already agreed to
- settle criminal-fraud charges against it for a $650 million
- penalty, denying Milken his money effectively reduces the fine
- by more than 30%. Milken's attorney, Martin Flumenbaum,
- castigated the settlement as a "violation of due process, a
- punishment without trial." Separate criminal charges against
- Milken for securities fraud are expected to be filed soon.
