Lavish Wall Street bonuses, long the scorn of lawmakers and shareholders,
have met a new foe: the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The agency on Wednesday proposed a crackdown on hefty compensation awarded
at big banks, brokerage firms and hedge funds — a move intended to rein in
pay packages that encouraged excessive risk-taking before the financial
crisis.
The proposal would for the first time require Wall Street firms to file

Prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year. Will that

sick Russians, homeless Poles, and slum-dwelling Chinese—in places where
regulation is virtually nonexistent, the F.D.A. doesn’t reach, and
“mistakes” can end up in pauper’s graves? The authors investigate the
globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, and the U.S. Government’s
failure to rein in a lethal profit machine.
