T. Boone Pickens, Hunk of the Month 1987-2008

By Mark Kaufman

T Boone Pickens has been all over the news lately with his wind/energy plan. I remembered this piece I did way back in 1987, which I finally found a copy of in an old sketchbook. T. Boone was Hunk of the Month in my tribute to the greed is good, 1980s style adulation of CEOs. Twenty years on our corporate hero worship hasn’t waned, and a few of these titans of Wall Street have passed on or fell from grace, but good ol’ T. Boone just keeps on keepin’ on. YeeeeeeeHah!
