Brooksley Born - Cassandra?
Brooksley Born - Prophet and Loss, an article in STANFORD Magazine, March/April 2009.
An article on his nibs' cousin is the cover feature in the current STANFORD Magazine. Interesting writeup of the happenings at the CFTC in the late nineties.
If they'd listened to Born and implemented her proposals, could it have prevented the meltdown?
Update: She's also getting one of the Kennedy Library Foundation's 2009 Profile in Courage Awards for the days back then.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
