My old roommate from HS debate camp

Here's a story from The Economist magazine about my old roommate from high school debate camp, Austan Goolsbee. We roomed together for two consecutive summers in the dorm rooms of American University. Very nice guy - and very bright too. I'm not at all surprised to see him become famous. A little history on his very succesful high school and college debating career can be found here at Wikipedia. An article he wrote for the New York Times can be found here.
