I am enjoying the new NetFlix documentary about Hank Paulson and the financial crisis. I haven’t gotten to the end yet, but my biggest impression is one I least expected: how impressed I am with his wife and their relationship. Wendy Paulson, his wife of forty years, is quite obviously the guy’s bedrock. She’s intelligent, supportive, discerning, and obviously loves the man deeply. He turned to her at the worst moments of the crisis, and she always had the right thing to say. If you watch “Hank”, I think you’ll probably get the same impression. He’s a lucky man.
