Arthur Levitt's Other Identification

http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2009/08/arthur-levitts-other-identification

The Wall Street Journal today runs an op-ed piece arguing against government limitations or taxes on high-frequency trading. The author of the article is Arthur Levitt, who is identified by the paper only as "chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission from 1993 to 2001." Omitted is any disclosure of Mr. Levitt's status as a paid adviser to Goldman Sachs, which has an interest in how the policy debate on regulating or taxing high-frequency trading turns out.
