A 20th Century Alec Campion?

This 9/16/12 NYTimes in-depth piece on "Wall Street provocateur" Sandy Lewis, "born into Wall Street royalty," makes me wonder whether a modern version of my angry, privileged, righteous man might not be something like him.  While my novels are published as fantasy, I like to anchor them in the real world as much as I can.  Food for thought:

That sounds like all the things we love about Alec. Fascinating to find them all in a living, breathing man.

Clearly people either love him or think he's a total pain and a nut. Yep.

Dysfuncional childhood; brilliant; raging at injustices in the system: that sounds very like Alec.

'He argued prison would be interesting' ... I rest my case :)

Mmmm.... Perhaps Taline Boghosian wouldn't mind if her illo was used (with proper credit)...?
