...ROLE OF THE FED CHAIRMAN Bernanke's support for Greenspan's broad approach is echoed in a Bloomberg interview, which also gives some insight into his manner and demeanor. The nominee certainly believes that the role of Fed Chairman can make the critical difference to the fate of the economy: In an essay in Foreign Policy, he argues that the 1929 crash could have been averted by a smarter hand on the Fed tiller...

During a moment alone with the tape recorder...
...producer Dee Johnson. But producers also say the show would have moved beyond the introductory, gee-whiz-she's-a-woman stage under Lurie too. "The early days of any presidency," says Cohen, "are about what a new leader brings to the office, what their style is and their approach and their inner makeup." They're also about transitions, early missteps and staff problems. And as CiC is learning, sometimes life imitates politics...
