Lawsuit reform makes good copy too.
Or so we conclude from a ceremony at Los Angeles's Four Seasons Hotel June 25. The event marked the presentation of the 1990 Gerald Loeb Awards, which honor the best financial journalism of the year past. The Loeb Award for best commentary went to another journalist whose courage and incisiveness we've long admired, Gordon Crovitz of The Wall Street Journal . Gordon won for his columns on abuses of the RICO law, a topic he addressed before a large audience at a Manhattan Institute conference a couple of years back. No one has done more to sound the alarm about the threat this law poses to our civil liberties.
