...funny economists in the world," says R. Preston McAfee, a California Institute of Technology economics professor and Yahoo! research fellow who presided over the evening. But despite their rarity, some of these academics have attracted wide followings--admittedly, among those who can laugh at supply-demand curves. Yoram Bauman, a professor at the University of Washington, bills himself as the World's First and Only Stand-Up Economist*--but insists on the asterisk to honor exceptions like Ben Stein, who played the stupefyingly boring teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

New evidence supporting Demjanjuk's contention that he was the victim of mistaken identity has convinced many observers that while he may be Ivan the Not Very Nice, accountable for lesser crimes, Demjanjuk will be cleared of the atrocities...
Demjanjuk's Israeli lawyer, Yoram Sheftel, went on ABC News' "Nightline" with Ryan and accused the Harvard attorney of supressing crucial evidence in order to "frame" his client. Ryan denied that charge then and he denies...
