To All to Whom These Presents Come, Greetings...

Steve Cohen and I are going to spend part of the summer writing up our thoughts on Sovereign Wealth Funds and other non- or not-very-market actors in our global economy.

To assist in this end, I am now seized of--that is, hold seisin over--Room 203 of 2234 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley, CA.

All know that I shall with lance and sword defend my seizure of Room 203 of 2234 Piedmont Avenue against all comers save Laura D'A. Tyson alone, whose deanly books from London Business School appear to already occupy the office...

This could be dangerous: there are too many good books here that are not mine, that I have not read, and hence against which I have no immunity...
