I got about 10 pages into the paper and then that there's a good reason that I didn't get into Harvard.

Go listen to the "This American Life" pieces about Magnetar and about the financial collapse. They are enjoyable and make good snapshots to get some of the same information/ideas.

The interesting part is the data itself. There’s really no shortcut to just marveling the tables directly.
