He's a multimillionaire who can pay his own way; 9 out of 10 voters recognize his name, a plus in a state where advertising is pricey; and his G.O.P. opponent, businessman Douglas Forrester, loses his greatest distinction--not being Torricelli. By week's end, Republicans were muttering that they should try this gambit too--yank Forrester and stick a proven pro like Christie Todd Whitman into the race...

Even before settling with the FTC, Citi stopped selling the insurance and lowered rates for 200,000 debtors. It was the first to voluntarily adopt the "Spitzer principles" imposed on Merrill Lynch, and now requires officers of public companies who get IPO shares through Citi...
