As one of those WSJ editors who did oversee your work, Jonathan, I recognized your repetitiveness and lack of sophisticated investments (i.e. crap) as strengths of the column and highly supportive of our efforts at reaching beyond traditional WSJ readers. (Thanks for the plug, Mr. Cameon (below); I was the guy who got the WSJ pages in the Minneapolis paper.) One of my fondest memories of your column, Jonathan, was one week you took off. As I recall, my editor's note went something like this: "Jonathan Clements's column will return next week. In the meantime, save as much as you can and invest in index funds." Cheers, David Crook
