NYT is running this pic of Commodity Futures Commission chairman Gary Gensler in his office. The pic seems to have been taken at just enough of a distance so that most details can't be made out. If you can spot anything interesting leave a comment. I'm most curious about the book on his desk in the far left of the picture.
The cover of the book on the left-hand side reminds me of the cover for John Keegan's The First World War. Just a guess, though.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like "The First World War" by John Keegan

DeleteA little curious that the two similar books side-by-side in the front are facing us, not the desk occupant.
ReplyDeleteGood catch.
DeleteThe Zombie portrait in the back is Genslers 'Dorian Gray'
ReplyDelete"The Forgotten Man" by Amity Shlaes?
ReplyDeleteRW: is the pic full size? I looked for the original story and only found this one, which does not have the pic:
