Bellman equations on @ESPN! @ESPN documentary "NFL and 4th Down" features Berkeley economist David Romer explaining his JPE paper "Do firms maximize? Evidence from professional football" arguing teams should go for it on 4th down more. Now common practice in the NFL 20 yrs later.

Kevin Warsh today on including monetary aggregates (M2) in the 2026 Federal Reserve Monetary Policy Report (answering a great question from Senator Bill Hagerty): "I do not show up here as a monetarist. I do not show up and say the secret to inflation is if we only knew M2 everything would be swell. But monetary aggregates had been taken out of the monetary policy report probably about a decade ago, maybe a bit longer. My view is that a modern central banker should have a mosaic of information and should not be allergic to any data that happens to be inconsistent with dogma that he or she might have been taught in econ one. I have this old fashioned view that monetary policy has something to do with money."

Clarence Thomas explains to Peter Robinson at the Hoover Institution Sowell Legacy Conference how Thomas Sowell became his mentor: Thomas first tried to track down Thomas Sowell ("you might as well go after a white whale or something, it's impossible"), found him on a conference panel with Ruth Bader Ginsburg at a WashU St. Louis Law School in February 1979, and "like any good groupie, I chased him down to get his autograph on my 'Race and Economics' book", and in 1980, "he decided he would take me under his wings". They've been close friends for the past 45 years+
