Well, all we need now is somebody named Wynken as undersecretary for East Asia, and a dude named Nod for South America ...

Markets were happily reassured.

The progressives may not be perfectly happy, but this is a group of real pros.

I really like this one.

I had a couple of personal dealings with Steve Mnuchin during my late career.I found him to be way slimier than the average investment banker. Or maybe he was just part of the slimy 99% that gives the other one percent a bad name…

I'm hopeful that one of my former students will get an assistant secretary position of some sort.

The only names on the list I recognize are Janet Yellen and John Kerry, , but Googling around I get the impression that these are all well qualified, experienced, practical people.

I wish them all the best - they're going to need it.
