Participant[quote=davelj][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.[/quote]
Good points. I enjoy the magazine also, but sometimes it can be nauseating to me in regards to the royalty worship and yes Kennedy family worship as well. I don’t mind the old Hollywood pieces. When I go on plane rides I always like to purchase VF because you will usually get a good read out of it. To each their own.

ParticipantI don’t know about a Youtube vid, but they are finally making it into a movie. Galt’s big speech is going to take at least 20 minutes…
