Cherry on Top

Thomas L. Friedman
New York Times
The Madoff affair is the cherry on top of a national breakdown in financial propriety, regulations and common sense. Which is why we don’t just need a financial bailout; we need an ethical bailout. We need to re-establish the core balance between our markets, ethics and regulations. I don’t want to kill the animal spirits that necessarily drive capitalism — but I don’t want to be eaten by them either.

A Persistent Phenomenon

"I'm sure we'll see lots of colorfully misguided sex antics among our congressmen for many, many years to come, because it's clearly very easy for them to have a megalomaniacal delusion that causes them to think they can do whatever they want. And seeing other politicians get nabbed doesn't seem to diminish that delusion. It speaks to the power of that delusion. It's extraordinary how persistent a phenomenon it is."
Rufus Griscom, CEO of Nerve
