[quote=sdgrrl]Glad someone posted the article from Vanity Fair- though I find the irony of Vanity Fair publishing it…absolutely ironic! Love many of the articles, but it’s like porn for social climbers ;)[/quote]

I think of Vanity Fair as People Magazine for a different socio-economic set. The issue with the Stiglitz piece also had an article on the internal politics at Goldman during the mid-90s (excerpted from an upcoming book), and a piece from Paul Allen on how he (allegedly) got ripped off by Bill Gates. I generally enjoy it, although the fixation with anything Kennedy- or Old Hollywood-related is a bit much.

Social climbing can be an enjoyable hobby… so long as you’re social and don’t spend all of your money on it.
