her name looks like it lost several vowels and consonants.
Shlaes graduated from Yale University magna cum laude[1] with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1982.[2]
Shlaes writes a syndicated column for Bloomberg News.[3] She is a senior fellow in economic history at the Council on Foreign Relations. Her many appearances on television and radio include commentary on public radio for Marketplace.
She wrote columns for the Financial Times for five years, until September, 2005, for which she won the International Policy Network's Bastiat Prize for Journalism in 2002.[4] Earlier, she worked at the Wall Street Journal, where she was a member of the editorial board. She has written for The New Yorker, The American Spectator, Commentary Magazine, Foreign Affairs, Forbes, National Review, and The New Republic, among others. Her obituary of Milton Friedman appeared in The New York Sun.[5]
She was awarded the 2007 Deadline Club award for Opinion writing,[6] and the Newswomen's Club of New York's Front Page Award for her Bloomberg columns.[7]
Miss Shlaes teaches an MBA course titled the Economics of the Great Depression at NYU/Stern School of Business.[8] She is the 2009 winner of the Hayek Prize awarded by the Manhattan Institute.

Just curious - if a senator (or senators) wanted to sit on the other side of the aisle, could they do it? Why doesn't anyone ever try it? Wouldn't it be a nice symbolic bipartisan gesture?
I should run for senate…"vote z s, he'll literally sit on the other side of the aisle"
