...announced the formation of a new 25-person SEC unit to combat securities violations at financial institutions. One of the group's goals: to prevent more disasters like the case of Lincoln Savings & Loan, whose chairman, Charles Keating, managed to run up $2.5 billion in losses, driving the California thrift into bankruptcy. With S&Ls foundering almost daily, the gesture seems like an afterthought -- and an undersized one at that...
