If you could pick a dream team of any talented writer and any public intellectual along the lines of Dubner/Levitt, who would you personally want to read the most? To keep it interesting, can you come up with one all living pair (e.g. Annie Dillard/Amartya Sen) and one all dead pair (e.g. H. L. Mencken/Isaac Newton)?

Bonus points if you can come up with a name for their hypothetical book/blog/radio/etc. empire that's half as good as Freakonomics.

But please continue this thread here and maybe we'll hijack it for Freakonomics.com if you don't mind?

By all means!
