The current headline article at Politico has this title:
Winklevoss brothers pressed Trump to dump pick for top Wall Street regulator
I can't read the article as it is behind the Politico paywall, but I can see the nice photo of the twins. They look a lot like their father Howard Winklevoss who was a friend in grad school.
Howard, or Wink as he was known, and I were doctoral students at the University of Oregon business school at the same time. The group of b-school doctoral students was small enough we all knew each other.
We studied different specialties but partied together on more than a few occasions in the late 1960s. As a newly-divorced Californian I would complain about the rain and the coeds' thick ankles and Wink would complain about his fiancee Carol being on the east coast. Or at least that's how I remember it from almost 50 years ago.
We had no idea he would have twins, much less that the twins would be described as "the Trump-supporting billionaire twins." Wink did well himself, he left academia and opened a successful consulting practice applying actuarial science to the management of benefit programs.
