« previous episode | next episode »

Wednesday, June 14, 2006

Vanguard Group founder John C. Bogle has become a hero to investors and a bug in the ointment for financial managers. In his book, The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism, he takes on the failures of the American financial system and corporate scandals. Plus: live coverage of the news conference with President Bush; why upstate New York is experiencing a brain drain; and Calvin Trillin rhymes Alberto Gonzales with loyal uber alles in his new book, A Heckuva Job.
