John McCain says he opposes the $307 billion farm bill because it would dole out wasteful subsidies, but his chief economic adviser Phil Gramm also wants to stop its proposed regulation of energy futures trading, a market that was famously abused when Enron Corp. manipulated California’s electricity prices in 2001.

6. Wikipedia has a brand new entry about Keating Five, in addition to the original entry.

I haven't read it closely, but it appears to be a spin piece in favor of whitewashing McCain.
