Gekko

I KNOW Wall Streeters must seem cold and unfeeling, but even we get all sentimental at the sight of two people who have found each other, hearts beating as one, etc., etc. Why, my own eyes misted as I watched Al Gore and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin on the Charlie Rose show on January 30. I was a little embarrassed for Charlie—I thought he might do better to tiptoe off the set and dim the lights, the way the power/fun couple were making googly eyes at each other. At one point Charlie asked if their obviously close relationship made a difference in how official business was conducted.

Vik: Yes, it does. Without this personal trust we could not have accomplished as much as we have.
