The controversial editor of the weekly business publication, Regardie’s Magazine, was
interviewed as part of a “Washington Profiles” series featuring
media, business and cultural leaders in the nation’s capital. 

Mr. Regardie opened the interview wearing a large duck’s mask. He said this was to show that his magazine is irreverent and entertaining while covering serious stories. He talked about his early years and his career. Among other topics Mr. Regardie discussed an article in his magazine that
blamed M. Danny Wall, the director of the Office of Thrift
Management, for much of the savings and loan crisis. 

M. Danny Wall, who
announced his resignation shortly after this interview, appeared on
C-SPAN January 27 to refute Mr. Regardie’s charges.
