The first ever B.A.M.F. Award ("Chuck Norris" Award) goes to David Swensen, the manager of Yale's endowment. The business section of the Times ran a profile of him today -- quite frankly, I'm not sure about that editorial decision as I can't sniff any legit news peg, but that's fine with me as it's more grist for my mill -- and you can read it here: LINK.
Swensen is such an inspiration: he not only excels at his job, but he also feels that his work serves a noble purpose. I've read his second book, "Unconventional Success," which is geared toward the investing public; although it reads like a dry academic paper at times, there's enough populist fire in there to make Al Gore (ca. 2000) blush.
