o [url=http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/10/links-102314.html]Ben Bradlee[/url], WaPo editor during the Woodward/Bernstein Watergate drama. (Link is to 10/23 NC daily-links page; search in page for 'bradlee' to see links and reader discussion.)

o [url=]Nelson Bunker Hunt[/url] - Texas oilman who (in)famously tried to corner the silver market in the early 1980s. I shed no tears at the passing of this particular financial fraudster who fell victim to his own greedy overreach, but note the many “timeless” elements of the saga – big-fish margin-callee rescues via bank bailouts, wrist-slap fines for massive frauds, Greenspanian deregulation-as-religion.

One of the saddest posts ever- Those were two of the greatest humorists of all time. I guess Tom has moved on to "the third half" of their show. RIP
