literary spat

[James Devine]

I'll break my self-imposed quota to note that economics can spawn a literary
spat up there with Gore Vidal vs. Norman Mailer or Salman Rushdie vs. John
Le Carre. See

http://www.slate.com/Features/Krugman/Krugman.asp

for the spat between my old college roomie (and Barkley Rosser's inspiration
;-)), Paul Krugman and THE NEW YORKER's John Cassidy, with a lot of other
entries.
