Fortune met Warren Buffett by accident in 1966. "I was writing an investing article about another man, Alfred Winslow Jones, who wasn’t famous at that moment, but was about to be because of the article. Jones was running something called a hedge fund, and Fortune’s description of what that was and how Jones operated started a miniboom in the hedge fund business. Buffett Partnership Ltd. — a sort of competitor of Jones’s fund — got a single line in the article. To my everlasting dismay, I misspelled Buffett, giving it only one “t" (Carol Loomis).
