His family owned The Chicago Tribune and
-
The Seattle Times and a whole bunch of other newspapers
-
and there was a famous fashion model in the family,
-
Fleur Cowles and stuff like that.
-
So anyway, so with Cowles' money Fisher started the
-
Econometric Society which is the most famous mathematical society
-
in economics, Econometrica
-
which is the most famous journal in economics,
-
and the Cowles Foundation which--they started off in
-
Colorado Springs because Fisher said,
-
"Oh, the weather's so good there everyone will want to go
-
there and it's good for them."
