Self-Aggrandizement: Me in the NYT

Some guy named "Paul Kedrosky" (what is that, Polish? yeesh!) popped up in the NY Times today with an uppity comment from back when Ron Insana left television and started his own hedge fund. The comment turned out to be true, sadly, with Insana now having shuttered his fund of funds and moved on.
