	The 2005 TIME 100: Eliot Spitzer
		Spitzer has also found that insurance policies are not always for risk protection: they can be playthings for corporate financial engineers striving to meet their guidance for quarterly earnings.
		Spitzer, who may run for Governor of New York in 2006, has served as attorney general with energy, savvy and distinction.
		If Spitzer gets his way—and surely he will—fiduciary duty will once again eclipse "It's O.K. because everybody else is doing it" as the ethical standard of Wall Street, mutual funds, insurance and, as we will no doubt learn as this year rolls on, other financial industries yet to come.

		Masters' book is a studious and objective account of the life and times of Eliot Spitzer, and one fact of Spitzer's character emerges over the course of it as undeniably clear: This is a man whose considerable worldly success is founded, in the end, on his bottomless font of aggression.

		In all of these cases Spitzer and his team displayed a rare ability to dig up old corporate statutes and put them to use in new ways, and a dogged, vocal championship of the small investors and average American consumers who had been hurt so deeply by the dishonesty of these modern captains of industry.

	FORTUNE: Eliot Spitzer's next crusade - Nov. 22, 2005
		It's all part of Spitzer's efforts to build an aura of inevitability about his candidacy in the November 2006 election -- an aura that is enhanced by his huge lead in early polls, a fractured state Republican party, and a campaign war chest that he's building toward $20 million.
		Spitzer's high-profile cases as AG have made him a national political force -- at 46, arguably the single most powerful public official outside Washington.
		Spitzer's public attacks on hype-peddling Wall Street analysts, shady mutual fund late-traders and bid-rigging insurance brokers have led to a chorus of accusation that he is anti-business -- an extrajudicial meddler who is damaging the free-market system.
