Discussion of finance reform nothing new

Adam Frankel's March 7th column, "Post a guard at the revolving door," reads like the day-before-yesterday's New York Times. Wait, it IS the day-before-yesterday's New York Times — "Elder Bush in Big G.O.P. Cast Toiling for Top Equity Firm," by Leslie Wayne. The 'Times' gracefully alluded to its displeasure by giving the firm's critics plenty of ink; Frankel's opinion piece led with an allusion to Playboy in case simple-minded readers cannot otherwise recognize his indignation. At least Frankel attributed the quotes he used, if not the premise he lifted.

In the future, if I want to be reminded of a middleschool paper's opinion page, I'll look for Adam Frankel's columns.
