 Mastermind or Moron? April 13, 2002

This book covers the story of Charles Keating and his effort to run an S&L like a Kingdom to benefit his family and political views. This book offers the reader a very well documented, thought out telling of the Keating story. You can actually see when he starts to take for granted the public-trust he has and start to us it for his own purposes. Although to be fair to him, it was not all because he was conniving, he was also a truly bad businessman that seamed to make gold into lead. He was defiantly the poster boy for the whole S&L scandal. I would have liked to have more detail on his overall political dealings. Overall this is an interesting and well-written book.
