I sat next to someone fairly famous yesterday on a long flight. He wasn’t at all talkative. Also, I think he had a cold. He read for a while, snoozed for a while, and watched a DVD on his Macbook. Disembarking, he put on a long cashmere coat. He also had a mustache. Who was he?

The first person to answer correctly based on these meager clues wins her/his choice of Freakonomics schwag.

If no one guesses right, I’ll give another clue tomorrow.

[Update: as of 4:00 p.m. EST, the correct guess has not been given despite some excellent attempts. (Gaydolph Titler!) I will be offline until tomorrow, so I’ll check in again then.]
