David Kestenbaum's on Morning Edition Friday, talking more about Gary Stern and Ron Feldman's 2004 book, "Too Big To Fail: The Hazards of Bank Bailouts." We've posted an excerpt for you.

Bonus: The story includes gem of a quote from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan about the concept of "too big to fail."

"I always took the position when I ended up on the Hill that Fannie and Freddie were not too big to fail. Needless to say, my fingers were crossed behind my back."
