My personal theory involves photographs of a member of the Sulzberger family and, perhaps, a monkey.

@Doug Mataconis: I love it – the only possible explanation.

Thank you, Steven for posting that link.
Thomas Friedman has such an obvious insufferable sense of self-importance – of course I might too if members of the punditocracy were constantly soliciting my opinion as to how to foster economic growth, end human rights abuse, and find a cure for pancreatic cancer.
He has a talent for making others believe that he makes very profound observations.
Regarding reviews for a book he pushed last year, from the NYT Book Review:
“Friedman and Mandelbaum are men of the American elite, and they write to salute those members of the American elite who behave public-spiritedly and to scourge those who do not. They are winners, writing to urge other winners to have more of a care for their fellow citizens who are not winners. And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with that!
and this, from the Library Journal:
“This is a book of exceptional importance, written on a sweeping scale with remarkable clarity by two of our most gifted thinkers. A soon-to-be best seller, it should be read by policymakers and every American concerned about our country’s future.”
