...exactly $115 million more than the bonuses at the center of the current controversy. Cassano, who helped found the AIG FP unit in 1987, built his money machine not on anything fraudulent but on what's been described as regulatory arbitrage. As Bernanke explained recently, "AIG exploited a huge gap in the regulatory system. There was no oversight of the Financial Products division.

The gap between the lenses simulates the space between our eyes, adding space perception. But with film, you never knew how the shot would turn out until later...

It is not well-know that the Minerals Management Service of the Interior Department is the second largest source of income to the U.S. government. Last year, it was revealed that employees of this office were routinely taking money and having sexual relationships with oil company executives. According to The Wall Street Journal, government...
