BANKING ON ELECTIONS
Finance sector invests heavily in candidates
By Lucy Komisar

When former Texas Senator Phil Gramm came out of the 
Tavern on the Green one recent August morning,

of the Swiss financial corporation UBS, he had just left 
his colleagues at the Financial Services Roundtable breakfast.
He wasn't keen on talking to waiting journalists, 
certainly not to the CorpWatch team.
