One of the great pleasures of James Brady's media column for Forbes is the sweet anticipation one experiences while wondering how Brady is going to set up his full-page litany of name drops. The current edition uses the recent Peter Braunstein case—and the suggestion that working in the fashion industry drove Braunstein crazy—as its peg. As is our custom, we've provided a summarized version of the column, boiled down to its essentials and shorn of all the extraneous detail. Enjoy!
