With his impeccably pressed white shirts and wingtips, Spitzer would seem to be part of the Establishment, not its nemesis. But he has taken up crusades that are far removed from the usual concerns of a state attorney general, battling coal-burning power companies over acid rain, gun manufacturers over product liability, grocers for exploiting immigrant workers. Spitzer and the team of lawyers he recruited from the ranks of prestigious law firms and federal prosecutors' offices often work unorthodox legal strategies, dusting off little-used laws to help their cause.

A formal planning committee will be named in the next few months. The announcement can't come soon enough for the locals, who find the whole process maddeningly bureaucratic. Meanwhile, a garishness is sweeping into town. Flight...
