Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Seventy-five years ago this month, a Lockheed Orion Explorer airplane crashed in Point Barrow, Alaska. The one passenger, a rugged man originally from Oklahoma Indian Territory, died on impact along with the pilot.

The dead passenger had stalked Washington insiders for decades and those who had been in his sights breathed a sigh of relief. But the rest of the nation mourned Will Rogers.

Now another plain-spoken Oklahoman, this time a 61-year-old grandmother named Elizabeth Warren, is chasing some Washington special-interest folks up hill and down dale simply by standing up for consumers and politely saying out loud what ordinary Americans are thinking.
