[Speaking of the AFL-CIO] Financial Times - August 18, 2000 WORLD NEWS: THE AMERICAS: Effusive commentator gets the Over-the-Top Award Amid all the convention schmoozing this week, the Over-the-Top Award for effusive introductions must surely go to Bob Borosage, a leading liberal commentator, for his glowing introduction of the labour leader John Sweeney, of the AFL-CIO. Sweeney, he said, had "the heart of a lion, will of a stallion and the bite of a grizzly". All we can say is, and th ...

As I recall - and it's been a while - Modigliani argued against a high inheritance estimate, no doubt because he was fond of his life cycle hypothesis.
