...flagrant violation of the Secret Protocols of Political Columnists to mention the same politician favorably two weeks in a row, but Graham has forced it upon me. He excoriated the Attorney General-designate Alberto Gonzales last week for allowing the White House to loosen the rules on torture. This week, praise goes to his Social Security reform plan. Graham actually approaches fiscal sanity. He would offer individuals a chance to invest up to $1,300 of their payroll taxes per year in any of five government-approved funds, ranging from stock indexes to private bonds to government paper...

Since the company was Parmalat, the Italian dairy-and-food conglomerate that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged with perpetrating "one of the largest and most brazen corporate frauds in history," and since Ferraris, 46, now faces charges of market rigging and issuing false information, he may wish he had heeded those doubts. But back in March 2003, he says, he knew...
