at the famously undercover Federal Reserve. Alan Greenspan got a kick out of the chance to develop a quality of riddle. When Bernanke ventured down, the Fed executive was holding four news gatherings a year. The shortness of breath with which Bernanke portrays this advancement — four news gatherings a year! — Accidentally demonstrates his point (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_crisisresponse.htm).
