In the freezing rain a few yards away from Bank of America's New York headquarters on 42nd Street, the man who made America see Goldman Sachs as a "vampire squid" was describing his research on a forthcoming article. "I called up my source and told him that I wanted to highlight all the really bad things Bank of America has done, and he said, 'What, do you have 1,000 pages?'"

The pie was made with fresh vanilla cream, hand-puréed strawberry, and five ounces of horse semen"]
