Alan Abelson Died: Lives On Through A Generation He Defined [View article]
James, Thank you for getting this thread going. I too was deeply impressed by Alan's writing. He reminded me of my favorite essay writer, George Orwell. Alan's clarity, wit and clear prose served as a platform for his original thinking. While an agent at William Morris, I had the great good fortune to get to know him a little. In the early 1980's I was in the television department. One day I called him up and suggested he have his own show. He responded very positively. We had a few delightful lunches and talked about the project for a while. He even quoted me in a column about the true nature of the Hollywood studio setup. I was just thrilled at our relationship. Ultimately, there would be too many compromises for the show to be developed. Alan would not let his integrity be questioned for even one minute. We lost contact but I read him until the end. I occasionally write about economic policy and China and the Mid-East. I judge every article I write against his and always come up far short. He is the benchmark for great writing. I will really miss him.

Obesity In America: An Investor's Perspective [View article]
Thanks, really smart article, very timely, the budget , healthcare and other policy implications are just huge. I think the obesity crisis will dwarf the smoking/tobacco crisis as a matter of future focus. This simply cannot go on...so it wont. jr
The script that the congress is following is one that is very familiar to fans of the WWF. The World Wrestling Federation and its smackdown shows follow a formula that includes: threats, chaos, unintended events, certain death, near recoveries, and audience participation. During any one match there are a dozen hair raising 180 degree turns that thrill and chill. In the end its always the same however, the winner is the guy in the white hat and evil is always vanquished. In the case of this budget show the media and it's default histrionics play the role of the ring announcer, breathless at every turn. The script for both shows is already written only the clueless would live in a state of suspense at the outcome.
