libertangoI've had credit cards on my mind a lot lately, and credit in general.
In my poking around to find out what a FICO score really means, I came across this transcript of a segment on PBS' Frontline from 2004. It was written and reported by Lowell Bergman, who was the real-life basis of the character played by Al Pacino in The Insider*. Bergman got interviews with, among others, Eliot Spitzer, who was then Attorney General of NY but is now governor, and Elizabeth Warren, who I recognized as co-author of The Two-Income Trap.
A more general home page for the segment, with many valuable resources, is here.
You can even watch the program in streaming video.
Highly recommended.
*That would be the character who gets the great quote (from my memory), "You're making me two things: Angry, and curious. You don't want either one!"
