Greenberg-SJohnsThey say that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones–a time-honored piece of advice ignored earlier this week by Maurice Greenberg, AIG's former head honcho, when he tossed regulators under the bus, blaming them for our current economic mess without taking much responsibility for the failings of his own kind.

Mr. Greenberg sent mixed messages during his late afternoon talk on “Risk Management in the 21st Century,” part of the William J. Parkinson Distinguished Lecture Series at the St. John's University School of Risk Management. (For the complete news story on the speech, go to http://bit.ly/e6bIs.)
