The subversive

Article Abstract:

John McCain achieved a high measure of respect for his ordeal as a prisoner of war in Vietnam which made the scandal he endured in the Charles Keating affair very difficult. This crisis was cathartic for McCain in prompting his campaign to reform political fund raising. He has currently joined with Senator Russell Feingold to introduce a law that would ban 'soft money' from interest groups.
