摘要

Barney frank is erupting, as onlyBarney Frank can. "How dare you!" he says. "How dare you accuse me of lying!" I am up on Capitol Hill to talk about his efforts to fix Wall Street, and Frank is growing agitated as I ask about the influence of the banking lobby on the House Financial Services Committee, which he chairs. Frank is determined to quash any notion that he's been weak on financial reform. I inquire about his decision the day before to postpone a vote on a reform bill. His public statement had said only that some Democrats on his committee weren't ready to decide on the legislation. Was there any other reason? "Are you trying to catch me in some lie?" Frank retorts. "You think I put that off for the big banks?"Actually, I hadn't said anything about the big banks-and I certainly hadn't accused him of lying. But this is the chairman's method of dealing with critics: go on the attack. Frank, a Harvard Law School graduate, is considered by many of his peers to be the brainiest member of the House. And he can be fierce when challenged-especially over legislation that is likely to change the face of America's financial system. Now, gazing from behind thick glasses, his mouth set in its trademark grimace, Frank fires back. "The big banks have no influence," he says. "They couldn't stop the credit-card [reform] bill.
