An elder statesman moves on

Article Abstract:

Former National Assn. of Insurance Commissioners head Brian K. Atchinson deserves special recognition. Atchinson, who is one of the veterans of the profession, was considered a peacemaker by his NAIC colleagues and helped unite them into a cooperative alliance while fulfilling his function as Maine's insurance superintendent. As a state insurance regulator, Atchinson balanced adroitly the needs of the public and the requirements of the companies.

A second wind stirs for tort reform

Article Abstract:

Tort reform advocates nearly achieved victory in 1996, but Pres Clinton vetoed a reform bill that had bipartisan support. Reform advocates are undeterred, however. Senate Republicans have named products liability reform one of their 10 top legislative issues, and the president could see tort reform as a means of deflecting attention from campaign fundraising issues.
