The Sheriff of Wall Street

Monday, July 24, 2006

A son of the Bronx, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer made his name prosecuting brokerages that inflated their stock value artificially. Now he’s running for Governor. A Spitzer biographer says family scrabble games early in life made young Eliot competitive. Plus, Monday Morning Politics, the power outage and outrage in Queens and investigating suspicious fires.
