“Across three small pieces of paper borrowed from the waitress, Howard penciled for me three graphs showing the difference between how the Gross National Product (GNP), the economy, and Wall Street markets act and react to uncertainty in times such as today. Brilliant visuals made it easy, even for me, to understand we still have breathing space and no need to panic. Lunch arrived and it was delicious,” Eric Fischl stated in describing the inspiration for the talk.
