Friday assorted links

1. “Using hand-collected data on birthplaces of US-born CEOs, we provide robust evidence that CEOs born in frontier counties with a higher level of individualistic culture promote innovation performance.”

2. Photo trip to the Faroe Islands.

3. Tungsten cube sells for 250k.  It’s heavy.

4. What happened in Virginia.

5. NYT Anthony Downs obituary.  “Drawing from his stash of some 200 joke books, he would inject, on average, one witticism into his prepared remarks every six minutes.”  And he wore two extra wristwatches.  And it is also striking how the NYT writer cannot fathom that the median voter theorem is…mostly correct.
