Indispensable Bureaucrats

Kenneth Feinberg will run the BP claims account and Michael Bromwich will oversee the reorganized Minerals Management Service.

In the old days we had political elders who'd step in in emergencies.  In Britain they called on the "great and the good".  These days we seem to have experienced bureaucrats who act as troubleshooters. No longer faceless, but known and trusted.
