In light of the Jensen Huang revelations yesterday I wanted to repeat a story I have written before.
As most know I was very close to Barron’s Alan Abelson.
Over the course of the last few decades Alan interviewed me over 50 times — I am not aware of anyone (and that includes a far distant second, Barton Biggs) who was interviewed in his “Up and Down Street” column as often.
One year (on Alan’s birthday) I sent him a present of several fictional books which were best sellers on The New York Times list of top books to his home in Croton-on-Hudson.
About two weeks later the books were returned to me by Alan with a note that said:
“Dougie, thanks for the birthday present but what goes on in Wall Street and in the Corporate World is far more interesting than any book of fiction.”
