This October 2012 issue examined the Obama administration's financial regulation policies and their relationship with Wall Street, with C. Boyden Gray and Adam J. White arguing that Dodd-Frank represented a gift to big banks rather than meaningful reform. The magazine also covered Hollywood's portrayal of Iran, particularly Ben Affleck's film treatment of the Iranian Revolution, as well as swing state politics including coverage of Ohio, Arkansas Republicans, and Virginia's outsized role in the presidential election.
