In 1991, while at Forbes FYI, he faxed out a press release that the Russian government was so desparate for cash that they were auctioning off Lenin's body. ABC bit on it and Peter Jennings reported it on the news.

ROTFLMAO!

I wish we could link to a video of that broadcast...What a treasure!

Excellent book on this topic:

Not only does he lay out all of this in detail, he suggests practical investment strategies to do the best you can. For instance tax deffered accounts are not-so-great because future tax rates are going to be higher, and the accounts are an obvious target for future cash-starved politicians.

This book is well worth the $20.
