...easy to poke fun at Granville, though. He's dropped the banker's blue and briefcase in favor of Biblical garb and balloons, and his following has shown that the investment crowd, or at least large portions of it, are just as loony and irrational as anybody else. The next time some Ec 10 section leader explains about the inescapable logic of the market, about the incontrovertible laws of supply and demand, ask him about Granville...

The "dirty protesters," as they have been called, refuse to wash, wear blankets instead of inmates' garb and smear prison walls with excrement...
