The subtitle of Bubble Man symbolizes the many flaws in Peter Hartcher's jeremiad against Alan Greenspan and the dot-com hysteria that the former Federal Reserve chairman allegedly abetted. The "Missing 7 Trillion Dollars" refers to the losses that stockholders incurred in the three years after the late-1990s stock market bubble collapsed. Throughout the book, Hartcher argues that Greenspan is to blame for those losses -- until the epilogue, in which Hartcher acknowledges that in the three years after those three years, a market upswing recovered "nine dollars out of every ten lost." As Gilda Radner's Emily Litella famously put it, "Never mind." Bubble Man's thesis is simple and direct: From 1996 on, Greenspan knew that equity markets were overheated and should have taken concerted action to cool them. In fact, he gave one speech in December of that year questioning the "irrational exuberance" of investors but never followed up to pop the bubble. Indeed, by 1999, Greenspan had become an out-and-out cheerlead

Let's Call It "The Turn of the Phillips-Head Screw" I was happily working on a novel titled What the Night Knows, thepremise of which was already described on various web-sitepostings, when an idea for a ghost story slammed into me with asmuch force as an exuberant 60-pound golden retriever playingbowl-dad-off-his-feet. When I picked myself up from my officefloor, I didn't need a sticky roller to remove the dog hair from myclothes, but the story I had been working on was entirely Swifferedout of my head to make room for the ghost story. After alerting myeditor and my publisher of my intentions, I put aside What theNight Knows and set to work enthusiastically on the new idea. Over the next few months, as the manu* pages piled up, Ioccasionally sent lists of possible titles to my editor and mypublisher, and they sent lists of titles to me. None of us likedthe same title. We didn't argue. We just quietly declined to beenthusiastic about one another's suggestions. We are a genteelbunch. The only one of us to wa
