Remember, Remember, the Twelfth of November
"On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) into law. This landmark legislation does much to unravel the influence of the Glass-Steagall Act on the United States' financial system.
Now banks and other providers of financial services have far greater freedom to compete against each other. No doubt, the legislation will prompt an altering of the financial landscape in this country."
John Krainer, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Economic Review, 2000

That These Dead Shall Not Have Died In Vain
"...It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
