    Oh yeah, that hair in the upper left photo was really big in Carpathia around the time Vigo was in charge. #jamiedimon

    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

    He seems like a Howard Hughes type of tycoon.

    It's interesting and kind of sad to celebrate a man that achieved more in publishing than most companies and to know it won't ever happen again.

    Felix is a bit of a publishing martyr. Back in his hippie phase (not unlike the other cool tycoon, Sir Richard Branson) he went to jail briefly for pornography charges for publishing nudity in his 'Oz' magazine: http://www.oneplusoneequalsthree.com/2007/02/god_save_oz.html

    Felix Dennis was in a band with John Lennon. And recorded with him too: "Do The Oz" by the Electric Oz Band, or whatever it was called. These other magazine bigwigs - what have they done to compare with that? Met MJ at the Clinton inaugural events in '93?

    Another plus for Dennis is that he still owns The Week, a newsmag which, though it ain't quite The Economist, is a far more informative and intelligent rag than Newsweek and Time - combined - are nowadays. (Or it was when I last looked at a copy, about a year ago.)

    The Week has David Frum and Robert Shrum as contributing editors. You just know Dennis hired them because their names rhyme with "bum." They just don't make those kind of editorial decisions anywhere else.

    This is the first time I've used the new comments setup and I'm irritated because I've got to write this into Notepad and then cut-and-paste it if I want to write this in minutes instead of hours. Or maybe I should just shell out the $400 for a new laptop.

    Also, his main office is in the same building as his own lap dancing club. Accessed by private elevator.

    *cough* or so I heard. Just a rumour though.

    @bowleserised: "Gentleman's club" with prostitutes coming in and leaving with said gentlemen. Perfectly legit business. Oh and it's employees of the year, not month, that get the trip.

    @oopsidoo: It's been a while since I heard that tale, and I thought it might be less libellous to go for "lap dancing club".

    This is like Conrad Black, with half the crazy and one-tenth the literacy.

    Because I'm not saying 1/100th the savoir-faire, Lord Black of Crossharbour is no doubt taking out a contract on my life as I type.
