Woo, the Mephistopheles of Wall Street comes in at number nine on the all time richest list! I still maintain that I should be really rich right now, but if it had been me managing that money in the twenties and thirties, I probably would have flown all my friends to Paris for some costume ball, too, so I sympathize with my great-grandmother. There's a link to a pdf of the NYT obituary in the mouseover text on Gould. It was...fulsome.

Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you hereby agree to the following as well: by leaving a comment you grant to the proprietors the right to release ALL your comments to this blog under this Creative Commons license (attribution 2.5). This license allows copying, derivative works, and commercial use.
Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you are also granting to this blog's proprietors the right to so release any and all comments you may make to any OTHER blog at any time. This is retroactive. By publishing ANY comment to this blog, you thereby grant to the proprietors of this blog the right to release any of your comments (made to any blog, at any time, past, present or future) under the terms of the above CC license.

If you do NOT agree to these terms, for pete's sake do NOT leave a comment. It's that simple.
- Confused by our comment policy?We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
Yes, things have certainly gone down hill. Woe is us.
Do you suppose that in 2110 the scions of Bill Gates will have the same complaint?

Well you know the old Yiddish joke: The impoverished teacher says, "If I were Rothschild, I'd be richer than him, because I'd also give private lessons".
