I think it was Warren Buffet and the lady who used to own the Washington Post but died who were bridge partners. I think any sane person would be afraid to play bridge with Bill Gates.

                   In addition to that, I was unaware that Dave VanRonk had gotten solvent--are we talking paint solvent here (acetone maybe)?

                   And yes, the dead Washington Post lady would fit right in witht the Elders of Zion. Maybe that's where we should begin our search.
