Capitalist and Accidental Humanitarian
Michael T. Kaufman wrote a biography of George Soros, the billionaire "who preferred hanging out with dissidents and ragtag idealists to hobnobbing with his fellow pinstripers."
"The subject gave the cooperative nod after a telling exchange in which Mr. Kaufman laid out the negatives. 'I told him that I would be professionally bound to look for skeletons in his closets,' Mr. Kaufman writes. 'I also told him that I had been raised to believe that it was impossible for a really rich man to be a really good man. He answered that so had he, and that this was a reasonable position to take.'"
The Soros Foundation funded Fred Cuny's efforts in Chechnya.
