The bailout plan and contract attorney work … an update to our September 25th posting:

Yesterday the administration announced that a former Goldman Sachs executive will be the interim head of its $700 billion rescue effort for financial institutions.  Neel Kashkari, the Treasury’s assistant secretary for international affairs, was selected Monday to be the interim head of Treasury’s new Office of Financial Stability.

The 35-year-old Kashkari is a former Goldman Sachs Inc. banker, once headed by Treasury Secretary Paulson.
