Whoa! That righteous dude Barry Wellman has come up with the dream theme of the decade. I, too, have been avalanched by letters from friends, cronies, high government colleagues, exiled colleagues, wives, nephews, and sons of the present or former dictators of Nigeria, Liberia, Congo, and Sierra Leone. So far, I've heard nothing from Zimbabwe, but I'm alert. All these people have one hundred million dollars or so in a Swiss bank, a locked box, a safe place, a bookshelf, or a desk drawer at the Centre for Urban and Community Studies. They'll give me 25% for helping them invest it. Is this an opportunity or what? The idea of a party is brilliant. Let's get them all together. It'll be a cross between the WEF, the WWF, and a TupperWare Party. I'll be there, dude. When I arrive, I'll just tell them I'm Barry Wellman. Unless he's already there, along with that other guy who has the same name. Ken Friedman Economist, Philosopher, and Party Animal
