...inability to safely unwind financial institutions that pose systemic risk presents a gaping hole in federal resolution authority. Unfortunately, behaviors at hedge funds and on trading floors that pose substantial risk to all Americans have for too long been allowed to proliferate outside of the government’s gaze.

Eventually a guy walks into the bar who looks about right. "Glasses - that's a plus," Rudd says. "And some sort of a knapsack." But suddenly Rudd's training from the film deserts him. "What do we do?" he asks. "Make eyes at the guy? Hold a gaze a little long? How do we initiate it?" After a while, Rudd gets up and asks the bookish guy if he wants to sit with us. Two minutes later, Sammy Politziner, 31, an investment banker, and Rudd are talking about the University of Michigan football team, quoting Steve Martin movies and comparing...
