American Rascal: How Jay Gould Built Wall Street's Biggest Fortune
Kim Zussman comments:
Likely worthwhile but I was stopped out at 2:59 "Buffett was a model of integrity"
Stefan Jovanovich replies:
Agreed. One of the many things the List has done is teach me the limits of my own understanding. I find the Oregano offensive because he has an outright pimp for a partner; in a decade of active practice in LA during the GO-GO years of the 70s and 80s, Munger's firm was - by far - the worst combination of self-righteousness and chickenshit deviousness that we and every lawyer we knew encountered. But, Buffett's artful dodging as a taxpayer has never bothered me. Thx to KZ for reminding me that all cheating really is equal in the eyes of God.
