I attended Charlie Rose’s interview of Jeffrey Sachs at the 92nd Street Y on Tuesday night. Jeffrey Sachs, who is the Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and has been an economic advisor to governments in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the former Yugoslavia, the former Soviet Union, Asia, and Africa, as well as an author and the only academic to have been repeatedly ranked among the world's most influential people by Time magazine, is about as close to a household name as an economist can get.

They are sexy, they are engaging, they are angry, they embarrass war mongers, they protect our troops, they care -- Oh! And they are HOT BABY. Our friends at Code Pink - Women for Peace got a nice write up in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday.
