full_context: Document 1: Myerson &amp; Kuhn: Myerson & Kuhn was a New York-based law firm that operated from 1988-1990. It was formed by name partners Bowie Kuhn and Harvey D. Myerson, former partner in the defunct Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Underberg, Manley, Myerson & Casey who brought some 80 attorneys with him from the unraveling firm. The new firm benefited from the arrival of former Finley, Kumble partners who brought such clients as Donald Trump, Lehman Brothers, Teleflex, Inc. and ConAgra. In 1989, the firm launched in Los Angeles with a group of 18 lawyers who defected from Shea & Gould. The firm suffered a spectacular collapse in December 1989 amid discord with its biggest client, Shearson Lehman Hutton, predecessor to Lehman Brothers over the alleged padding of legal bills, and mounting debts of over $11 million. Named partner Bowie Kuhn fled to Florida as creditors sought to hold him personally liable for up to $3 million in firm debts. When the press and his creditors finally found him in Northern Florida, Kuhn told the New York Times, “My multiple great-grandfather Dr. William Worthington was the first Governor of this section of Florida after it was acquired from Spain in 1819.” Harvey Myerson, first given the moniker “Heavy Hitter Harvey” for his litigation acumen was later given the nickname in the legal press, “Agent Orange of the legal profession″ due to his extravagant tastes and unfulfilled ambitions which drove his firm into the ground financially. For example, guests at the launch party for the firm each received a Cartier SA crystal apple with gold leaves and stem engraved with a quote from the Wall Street Journal remarking on the formation of the firm, 'A New Legal Powerhouse is Rising.' Though Myerson dreamt of relaunching a legal practice, he was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison for tax fraud and defrauding clients.

Document 15: West St. Paul, Minnesota: West Saint Paul is a city in Dakota County, Minnesota, immediately south of Saint Paul, Minnesota, and immediately west of South Saint Paul, Minnesota.

A previous City of West St. Paul, incorporated in the late 19th century, was situated in what is now called St. Paul's Lower West Side. According to the West 7th/Fort Road foundation, St. Paul annexed the West Side, and was incorporated for two reasons: "to aid law enforcement—criminals could escape St. Paul authorities by crossing to the West Side and Dakota County—and to eliminate the Wabasha Street Bridge tolls which were inhibiting development on the West Side." The current West St. Paul split from the western half of South St. Paul, and was incorporated in 1889, just south of the city of St. Paul. The population was 19,540 at the 2010 census, growing by 135 since 2000. West Saint Paul is known for its 2.5-mile retail strip along Robert Street.
