[lbo-talk] Greenspan plays with language

[Doug Henwood]

Gotta love Alan Greenspan's use of language. For example,  
"sophisticated" in this excerpt from a Reuters story: "Greenspan said  
markets were so sophisticated it was very difficult to forecast the  
short term direction of the dollar." He could have easily said  
"random" or "irrational," but "sophisticated" sounds so much better,  
especially when you're billing at his rates for speeches.
