    By 1974 standards, this guy wasn't doing that bad. In 1974, it was hard to find any pants that didn't have enormous bell bottoms. Even college kids were wearing leisure suits then. The really fashionable Canadian guys were going with 1st generation mullets. 1973-1979 is pretty much the worse years for fashion, music and everything else to do with pop culture. I didn't even own a TV set. #jamiedimon

    He seems kind of normal/cool. Also, dredging up high school yearbooks just makes the dredger look bad. Isn't that obvious? #jamiedimon

    He also eschewed the traditional uniform of the B-school student-khakis and button-down shirts.

    I can't condemn this part of his choice. Dressing for work at as a Gap clerk / Silicon Valley Startup CEO isn't terribly fashion forward. #jamiedimon

    Kate Kelly is obviously a fuckin' hack. That excerpt sounds like a transcript of a Dartmouth RA ratting out her hallmates to the Dean. The narrative voice screams LOSER.

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Can't tell if you're joking, but that excerpt seemed serviceable to me.


    Maybe a shortage of place cues in the lobby-men's-room graf, and "records reflect that" is pretty inelegant...but I still obtained a pretty complete picture of events from my first read-through. Care to elaborate?

    I'm sure he isn't the only top exec that smokes up. If I were a stoner CEO, I would just hire a smart kid to be my memory guy. "Sir your meeting is in a half an hour."


    Seriously though, I worked for a pretty well known magazine once and we all had an outing at a nice restaurant. I knew the publisher was a smoker but he lit up right in the men's room which had no window or ventilation system. I just thought, what nerve this guy has.

    @Cheap Shot: Everyone knows that you light-up and inhale in the stall, hold it in until you leave the restroom, and blow the smoke straight up as you walk through a crowd. Or was that just super-careful, non-CEO me?

    Bear CEO? He hasn't been that since 2008, and was gone well before that unofficially.
