Several Indians have been named MacArthur Fellows over the last thirty years. The honour goes with a large stipend paid over a ten year period. John MacArthur was the richest man in the US when he died in 1982. He then owned three thousand insurance companies, a likely inspiration to Warren Buffet, also a insurance man. His frugality was legendary, and the Wall Street Journal reported he lived in a three room rental, over a bar : I remain sceptical about that. I expect the billion dollar mansion planned for Bombay will house a very special bar. I will settle for a picture ! eric.
