WE’RE GOING TO MISS T. BOONE: Whatever you may have thought of his corporate raids, or superego, or prairie populist orneriness, T. Boone Pickens was one of a kind, as this delightful Forbes profile by Christopher Helman makes clear.

Those of us who also graduated from Oklahoma State University have our own special reasons for admiring Pickens. He will be buried on the campus in Stillwater, so I wonder how long till reports circulate of his ghost being seen around the football stadium named after him and the geology  classrooms in which he first began learning where to look for black gold.
