Outstanding writing. At first, I took offense when he called Penn a Jewish Day School. Then I reread it and realized he went to Penn AND a Jewish day school. I also realized that was close to a correct assessment, at least as far as The Wharton School was concerned. During the High Holidays, all we saw were gentile teaching assistants. I think some of the Profs were faking their kosherocity, but I can't blame them. <G> And I didn't take all that many night courses. He could have found a lot of other people who predicted the collapse of Wall Street on this thread. There were also plenty who predicted it while continuing to play the game, as Lewis, himself, did. It's sort of like Russian Roulette. As long as the bullet doesn't hit me, I'm o.k. Except that, if you play long enough, that 16.66% chance becomes 100% of clicking and hearing a bang.
