Alan Greenspan Dies at 100; Author Recalls Awkward Party Encounter
By
Dave McKenna
Summary
Alan Greenspan, the longtime Federal Reserve chairman who was once considered the most powerful man in the world, has died at age 100. However, the article is primarily a personal anecdote from the author about attending a Washington D.C. party in 2009 where they accidentally terrified Greenspan by approaching him aggressively for a conversation. The piece uses Greenspan's death as a hook to tell a humorous, self-deprecating story about the author's awkward social encounter with the famous economist.
