Excellent, and all too relevant to today's capital crisis! I just wish I knew more about John Mills. -- Nadine, Cary, NC
"Too big to fail" and "Too big to Jail" are very bad precedents that have been set. The Banksters and our "leaders" need discipline and so far we have failed in doing our duty. Cheers, b -- bruski, naples FL
