                                       - 27 -                                         
          he engaged escort services at least six times at petitioner’s E.            
          77th Street apartment.  The services were provided by women other           
          than petitioner.  Dennis T. recalled the name used by                       
          petitioner’s companion Laura C. and conceded receiving escort               
          services from her.  There are no checks or other documentary                
          evidence connecting petitioner to any amounts Dennis T. may have            
          paid for escort services received at the E. 77th Street                     
          apartment, where Ms. C. also resided.  Although the evidence                
          demonstrates a business relationship between petitioner and                 
          Dennis T., it fails to connect her with any of the money he paid            
          for escort services.  We accordingly do not sustain the                     
          determination.                                                              
               Respondent determined that petitioner had unreported escort            
          income of $945 in 1989 and $945 in 1990 from an individual named            
          Michael S.  Although Michael S. was a business associate of                 
          petitioner’s and admitted paying for escort services at one of              
          petitioner’s apartments, the arrangements were made by, and the             
          money was paid to, Laura C., not to petitioner.  The payments for           
          escort services by Michael S. have not been connected to                    
          petitioner, and we accordingly do not sustain the determination.            
               Respondent determined that petitioner had unreported escort            
          income of $1,500 in 1989 and $750 in 1990 from an individual                
          named Paul G.  Mr. G. testified that he paid between $1,500 and             
          $2,000 to petitioner for escort services during the period of
